Is AI the Future of Education or Its Demise? Explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and education in this engaging TEDx talk. The speaker dives deep into how AI has revolutionized every industry, including education, and proposes a reimagined future for learning in the age of smart machines. Discover the speaker’s perspective on the necessity to adapt and rethink how we value and measure human learning and intelligence in this technological era. Marc Natanagara, Ed.D. For over 36 years as a teacher and administrator from kindergarten to college, Marc has promoted equity, authentic learning, career readiness, and informed uses of technology in schools through professional learning, program development, community partnerships, and grant writing.

I believe education will change in the coming years, a school will always be a good place to socialise and maintain the mental well-being, but the learning experience will never be the same again! With AI, online learning and home schooling will be used by many as the machines are able to interact with humans. The good news education will be available for everyone
I really like how you laid out the foundation for thinking about AI in education. I look forward to learning more about the practical steps to applying AI, not only in the classroom, but also in the work before the classroom, and after.
AI’s impact on education is undeniable. There is a need for adaptation rather than resistance. Embracing AI as a tool to enhance learning, while addressing its challenges, could redefine the way we prepare students for the future.
AI is a part of conciousness
Ai is a "co-teacher". Use it for assignment generation, student support, lesson planning

Wonderful talk! Thank you for it.
There are interesting suggestions here. But the implementation of these suggestions is very difficult indeed and there lies the problem. It's easy enough to know what to do but sometimes nearly impossible to do it. Always remember the story of the Owl and the Centipede.
This is so beautifully expressed. Implementing the new framework for learning will definitely the right way …may be difficult …but it is the right way ahead! 🙂 Thanks Marc Natanagara
So we are pushing everyone towards Philosophy.
5 characteristics of future AI-based lessons:
1. 6:52 Experience: Problem solving through discovery, exploration, and reflection – called active learning
2. 7:04 Ask questions about meaning. Encouraging students to identify their beliefs, to see the bigger picture. Generalize concepts, make learning personal by asking what does this information mean to you? Why is this information relevant?
3. 7:28 Connections to real world. Integrate new information into students knowledge. How does it relate to last weeks lesson?
4. 7:51 Feelings: Awareness, Empathy, Relations.
5. 8:27 Applications: Novelty, Creativity, Divergence, think outside the box
Winston Churchill was not the source for the statement "never let a crisis go to waste", it was Rahm Emanuel, Democrat in the US. It is poor speaking practice to alter history to avoid citing dubious sources.
As an educator for 24 years, I had a number of problems with this TED talk. For one, he provides a false dichotomy at the beginning (fight or flight). I agree we should see how AI can be applied to learning, but I don’t think all technology should necessarily be a part of that equation. As a writer (I’m a full-time professor, aspiring author), I use AI as an assistant, but as a writing teacher I would never suggest students to use AI in their writing process…not yet, at least. Should we monitor for cheating and the misuse of technology? Yes! Does that inhibit the trust that a teacher should give to their students? Well, I don’t think a teacher should fully trust their students…for their learning! Does a boss fully trust their employees? Shouldn’t a teacher help guide students away from methods that impede their learning? In short, I will stand up against the full embrace of any technology that impedes learning. And, no, that is not “fight” against AI. That’s discernment. If AI ever becomes more than a cheating tool, I’ll gladly use it in the classroom.
I’ll give an analogy. Would I embrace students using technology like Google Glasses (are those still around?) when checking their understanding of historical events? No. Such technology would impede their learning of history if they could look up everything instead of putting it into their “bank of knowledge”, and a student who doesn’t know history will be doomed to watch it repeat on their smart devices.
I also found his suggestions of what to do in the classroom “off-topic”. 😉 His suggestions are how to teach without using AI. How is that suggesting the incorporation of AI into lessons?
Great ideas, but be very cautious about trying to limit future AI abilities to it's current limitations. No one thought that AI would be better at us on creativity scores, and yet, that was one of the first things that ChatGPT surpassed us in.
AI could very well surpass us in "reading the room", determining someone's mood, or thinking out of the box. Possibly as soon as next year.
Excellent talk, very inspiring!
One point where I slightly disagree was the "Reading the room" example: Actually AI systems can already read mood and sentiment very well (using both visual and audio clues) and are getting better at this every day.
The Monarc system of brainwashing learning is finished .
It's no longer cheating .
It is Superstition to Believe that Intelligence can be artificial,
low-intellectual Illiteracy.
Intelligence can Never be artificial.
(machine learning ?)
That laudable but pretty much impractical at scale. And, as long as we value degrees and certifications as access filters to work opportunity, it's also useless.
I agree with your suggested use of AI in the classroom. Active learning is what students must engage in to grow understanding. It's the only way.
Very well said. The fact that we should emphasise human intelligence in areas where AI cannot.
Video games are the future of education.
Such an incredible talk. Thank you!
This man was my elementary school principal for years. Great to see he's doing so well. Never forgot the powerful and easing presence he had. No principle I had after him came close. Gold standard educator 💯
Wrong: with a good prompt AI can generalize and apply knowledge and write a report on what I have " learnt" in class where I slept
A good, tight treatment of what educators (in most any type of classroom) should be looking at in the brave, new world of AI. Marc, your 5 characteristics of learning deserves deep dives on all points and subpoints. To me what holds great promise is it's ability to give us more and better in-roads to personalized learning and differentiating instruction. Like any other "magic bullet" ed reforms and innovations of the past 30 years, I'm skeptical that it may only bring us accelerated mediocrity and an even further narrowing of the curriculum.
I've recently found from an eight year old and a fourteen year old that kids have a surprisingly high sense of ethics…they want to be known for their own work and what they can accomplish. It was a pleasant surprise to me. Maybe some of us should stop barking up the wrong tree and put a little more trust in them. Now the potential equity issues to be wrought by AI is a completely different kettle of fish.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. And I appreciate the practical advice and practical thinking you provided. Looking forward to more presentations.
excellent!
Fabulous Ted talk, gave me a lot of hope for the future! Thank you Dr. Natanagara!
