Imagine: everything you have been learning for years can now be mastered twice as fast. That's incredible? It's possible! But experts are confident that with the development of artificial intelligence, this will become a reality.
Fast-paced learning
According to researchers, AI tutors can reduce the time to master educational programs by almost a third. Sven Schütt, a specialist in technology and education, believes that this is made possible by the personalized approach that AI provides to each student.
But there are questions: learning is not only knowledge, it is also friendship, mistakes, the first independent decisions, everything that forms a personality. By shortening our years of study, we risk changing not only how we learn, but also who we become.
A teacher is no longer a teacher?!
What role will the teacher have to play if AI takes care of testing, adapting materials, and even creating curricula? Schütt offers a bold idea: the teacher of the future will become not so much a transmitter of knowledge as a creator of an environment for its exchange. It sounds tempting, but it is a serious challenge. Teachers will have to learn how to work with AI, create new learning formats, and rethink their tasks. Lectures in the usual form may remain only part of the educational landscape, since most of the knowledge will come through digital platforms.
Learning Without End
Now the most interesting part. If earlier education ended with a diploma, then with AI, everything is different — Schutt believes that in the future we will learn constantly. Learning will become less formal, more like a game or hobby, but at the same time it will remain productive.
Of course, a lot of questions remain. How to adapt to such a world? What skills will be valued? And is society ready for such a sharp leap? One thing is clear: AI is a game-changer, meaning that learning isn't just about school and university: it's about life, which becomes a field for endless curiosity and growth.
