Since its birth, education has been in a constant process of adapting to social needs and the development of social productive forces through its own changes. In primitive society, it is a primary form of education that hunters teach hunting skills to others. In feudal society, the emergence of private schools is a form of education to meet the needs of wealthy families for poetry, books, etiquette and art education for their children. In modern times, with the demand for a large number of talents who need technical training in the era of great industrialization, the modern school system came into being.
Every change in education is a self-renewal to meet the needs of the times and a self-revolution to meet the needs of society. In the era of artificial intelligence, society's demand for talents is more refined and niche, people's demand for knowledge is more personalized and diversified, and people's demand for knowledge transmission is faster. These new changes in demand will inevitably promote the self-renewal and transformation of education, and education will gradually change from organized, planned and equipped with venues to unorganized, unplanned and equipped with venues.
Teachers will gradually change from directly answering the knowledge of class students to the form of irregular classes and no face-to-face lectures. Teachers will gradually be divided into a group of people who create, organize and disseminate educational resources, and a group of people who provide personalized counseling or accompany students. Especially in the stage of basic education, many teachers focus on personalized counseling instead of explaining knowledge.
The explanation of knowledge will be undertaken by specialized teachers through information technology, and these people don't need too much. Theoretically, the network can infinitely enlarge the concept of class and let more people learn at the same time. A large number of people will work hard on the creation of educational resources and demand analysis. In the field of adult education, the existing educational methods will be reshuffled. Instead of teachers who need schools and face-to-face instruction, more people study and train through the Internet.
Future teachers will not be limited to the teachers we see now, but all those who are engaged in the creation, arrangement, beautification and dissemination of educational resources can become teachers and undertake the responsibility of educating people. So teachers will not be replaced by artificial intelligence. It can only be said that artificial intelligence will change teachers' work forms and tasks, and will produce teachers with new identities to meet the new needs of society for education.
The world is constantly developing and changing, so is education, but teachers are always there.
