## AI trends in 2024

## The AI in education market

* Generative AI (#GenAI) can support co-creative practices (#ppAI6, Urmeneta & Romero, 2024) and **hybrid intelligence** approaches, but also higher procrastination and lower academic performance and long-term memorisation (Abbas et al., 2024).

* Analytical AI / Multimodal AI / Explainable AI

* Ethics and regulation (#AIAc)

## Will AI Teachers Replace Human Educators?

<figure><img src="image_6.png" /></figure>

<figure><img src="image_7.png" /></figure>

Mathematicians were not replaced by calculators. Can you say, then, that AI won't take the place of people?

Future generations of innovators, sympathetic citizens, and critical thinkers are shaped by education. Can these models be supported in the classroom by AI?

## We asked humans and AI (LLMs)

## Give your opinion

## Results

<figure><img src="image_9.png" /></figure>

**Do you think AI systems will be able to replace teachers in the future?** (182 participants, 84% of them are educators)

**Is it possible that in the coming years (e.g. by 2030), educational functions (or part of them) will be "able" to be performed by AI systems?** (182 participants, 84% of them are educators)

### Humans

<figure><img src="image_10.png" /></figure>

ChatGPT 3.5

No. AI will complement rather than replace teachers

Mistral

Unlikely. AI is more likely to transform and augment their roles

Copilot

AI won't completely replace teachers. It's more about synergy between AI and teachers

Perplexity

Unlikely that AI will fully replace teachers in the future

Gemini

No. AI systems will not completely replace teachers in the foreseeable future

Claude

Unlikely that AI systems will fully replace teachers in the foreseeable future

### Humans

<figure><img src="image_11.png" /></figure>

ChatGPT 3.5

Yes, it is possible that by 2030, some educational functions will be "able" to be performed by AI systems

Mistral

Yes, it is possible that by 2030, many educational functions will be performed or assisted by AI systems

Copilot

Certainly! Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping education, and by 2030, we can expect AI to play a significant role in various educational functions

Perplexity

Yes, it is possible that by 2030, AI systems will be able to perform certain educational functions

Gemini

Yes, it's highly probable that AI will play a significant role in educational functions by 2030

Claude

Yes, it's quite possible that by 2030, AI systems will be able to perform many educational functions or parts of them

### Humans

**What functions do you think a teacher (educator) could delegate to an AI-based system?** (182 participants, 84% of them are educators)

### LLMs

**What functions do you think a teacher (educator) could delegate to an AI-based system?** (182 participants, 84% of them are educators)
