Consultant and educator Aditya Awasthi argues that the AI in education is not a threat but an opportunity, which compels us to rediscover바카라the human experience of learning.
For centuries, misfortunes were attributed to God, government, and education. Today, however, Artificial Intelligence has joined that infamous trio. Aditya argues that while the integration of AI into education is inevitable, it is also long overdue. Just as educational institutions were forced into a rapid바카라and frankly messy바카라digitization during COVID, AI is now breaking into the system. But unlike the temporary scramble of the pandemic, AI is here to stay바카라and it presents an unprecedented opportunity.
Beyond the Process
points out that AI바카라s threat is not to education as a whole but specifically to its processes. Curriculums, lesson plans, content delivery, examinations, and grading바카라these are the procedural aspects that AI can execute far more efficiently than any human. It is akin to how calculators threatened mental arithmetic or how smartphones have diminished our need for in-person conversations. If education were solely about these processes, then yes, AI might soon render many traditional educational roles redundant.
The Missing Experience
Yet, herein lies the silver lining: the experience of education. Drawing on insights shared in his TEDx talk on student engagement, Aditya explains, 바카라After an exam, we ask how well a student did. But if that student just returned from a skydiving trip, we ask, 바카라How did it feel?바카라바카라 This simple shift underscores that learning is not merely a data-driven process바카라it바카라s a deeply personal experience.
Aditya draws parallels with everyday experiences: despite their technological prowess, services like Ola and Zomato are loved (or hated) not for their tech efficiency beyond a threshold, but more regularly for the human experience of every ride and doorstep delivery. Similarly, the vibrant world of gaming thrives not solely on software, but on the community built around playing together, watching others, and interacting.
We can outsource our tasks to AI, but we cannot outsource our feelings.
Process without Experience = Movies without a Fan Club
According to Aditya, if AI takes over the 바카라movie-making바카라 of education바카라its processes바카라then human educators must take the lead in creating the 바카라fan club,바카라 the vibrant community that makes learning unforgettable. He defines this missing experience with five key elements:
Stimulation without Craving: Inspiring a genuine hunger for knowledge.
Exploration without Courage: Nurturing the bravery to question and explore.
Engagement without Contribution: Fostering environments where every student feels their voice matters.
Learning without Community: Building collaborative spaces that extend beyond individual personalization.
Application without Celebration: Recognizing and celebrating the real-world impact of learning.
A Call to Action
Aditya바카라s track record is evident. He has provided over 10,000 hours of training to students, advised startups, mentored educators, and consulted for local governments. His work spans major projects, including an edtech initiative recently promoted by the Gujarat Commissionerate of Technical Education, participation on international panels on technology바카라s role in combating hate speech in Morocco, and partnerships with organizations like CII and LabourNet on employability and skill development issues.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, his message is clear: Let AI worry about building the process. The true challenge바카라and opportunity바카라lies in creating an environment where education is a human experience, that ignites passion, resilience, and community.
This is the future of education바카라a future where technology supports, but never replaces, the vibrant human experience that inspires lifelong learning.
