AI in Education: Myths and Realities

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic in the world of education. Between overwhelming enthusiasm and legitimate concerns, it's time to take stock of what AI can really bring to teachers.

Myth 1: AI will replace teachers

This is probably the most widespread fear. In reality, AI is an assistance tool, not a substitute. It can generate content, but it's the teacher who brings pedagogical expertise, knowledge of students, and the ability to adapt courses to the context of their class.

Myth 2: AI-generated content is all the same

On the contrary, AI can generate a wide variety of content adapted to the level, subject, and specific objectives. Each generation is unique and can be customized by the teacher.

Reality: AI saves precious time

This is the real advantage of AI in education. By automating repetitive content creation tasks, it frees up time for what really matters: interaction with students, personalized support, and pedagogical innovation.

Reality: Teacher expertise remains essential

AI generates suggestions, but it's the teacher who validates, adjusts, and enriches this content. Their knowledge of the field and their students is irreplaceable.

Conclusion

AI is a valuable ally for teachers, provided it is used thoughtfully. At EduGen, we believe in AI serving humans, not replacing them.
