In the future, artificial intelligence will certainly have knowledge all over the world, but it can't replace teachers, who are engineers of human souls. "

Above, we do put forward that artificial intelligence has the advantages of improving efficiency, promoting personalized teaching and stimulating students' curiosity, but we should understand that these advantages are not enough to become the possibility of it replacing teachers for three reasons:

First, artificial intelligence is also a robot.

Robots lack flexibility and subjectivity in their work, do not have human imagination and creativity, and their biggest feature is rigidity.

At the 2020 Artificial Intelligence and Education Big Data Conference, many experts in the field of education said, "Subjective questions, especially compositions, cannot be judged simply by artificial intelligence, and it is not advisable to measure the level of compositions with a set of digital' standards'." It is difficult to judge the level of emotion, thought and metaphor contained in a composition only by the current artificial intelligence. "

With the objective machine characteristics of artificial intelligence, some experts believe that it can never replace traditional teachers.

Second, artificial intelligence doesn't know what innovation is.

Artificial intelligence is booming in repetitive work, but it is still in the primary stage in innovative and creative work such as education.

For example, the artificial intelligence assistant developed by Professor Tang Jie in Tsinghua University, the future teacher robot developed by Net Longhua Fishing ... These can only do repetitive work such as answering students' questions, invigilating, collecting and sorting out materials, but can't do creative work such as developing students' thinking.

Man only effectively combines the high efficiency of machines with human wisdom. Behind the machine, it is still necessary to imitate human behavior and establish various models based on human wisdom. Without human reference model, machines can't innovate independently.

Therefore, at this stage, it is still "weak artificial intelligence education", which has not completely replaced the ability of teachers.

Third, artificial intelligence still stays at the level of "teaching"

Education emphasizes the combination of "teaching" and "education". "Teaching" is the transmission of knowledge and technology, and "teaching" is the cultivation of morality.

Artificial intelligence may be able to "teach" well, but it is difficult to complete "education". Various learning software learning tools may help students to better grasp knowledge points, but they cannot teach students how to expand the boundaries of thinking, let alone demonstrate the truth of being a man.

In essence, there is no in-depth education, which is the fundamental reason why it can't replace teachers.

How to deal with the challenge of artificial intelligence?

For a long time, the traditional classroom teaching is that teachers use certain technology and adopt a relatively fixed model to impart relatively fixed knowledge to the whole class. Nowadays, in order to cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by artificial intelligence, traditional teachers should reposition their roles.

Teachers should update their educational concepts and correctly understand artificial intelligence. The influence of technology on education will not stop because of teachers' resistance. Teachers who can't adapt to artificial intelligence are abandoned children of the times after all. Only teachers who know and master technology, break the shackles of the original role and have the concept of man-machine collaborative teaching can grasp the iron rice bowl.

At the same time, we should perceive social changes, change the direction of professional development, shift the focus from imparting knowledge to cultivating students' all-round development, and shift from focusing on teaching to the unity of teaching and educating people.

Finally, it is necessary to understand that the essence of education is educating people, and no matter how artificial intelligence develops, it will not change this essence, while the main body of education is teachers, and how artificial intelligence develops can only be a tool for teachers to teach and educate people. Only when teachers make full use of it will they not worry about being squeezed out of work by machines.

Teachers' personality charm is irreplaceable. In education and teaching, any wonderful class is not designed in advance, but formed in the process of teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction. Human learning was first carried out by imitating our ethnic group. Teachers play an irreplaceable role in the growth of students. Good teacher-student relationship is the most important cornerstone of students' study.

Secondly, people are social animals, and the cultivation of students' social ability is also inseparable from teachers. Imagine that each of us faces a cold mobile phone or computer study every day. Will we have social barriers in the long run? Will your eyesight be impaired? The most prominent thing about artificial intelligence is its computing ability, but it does not have human world outlook, values and outlook on life.

Third, artificial intelligence can't do personalized education for students. When facing a unique individual, it is difficult for artificial intelligence to realize personalized education. And our teachers can give students the greatest support and education through personal experience and the unique adaptability of human beings.

Fourthly, artificial intelligence can't replace teachers' influence and education on students' non-intelligence factors. Artificial intelligence can reproduce all kinds of knowledge through technical means, but the emotional communication between people cannot be copied. Perhaps teachers can become more efficient with the help of artificial intelligence when teaching this part of the content, but teachers should also cultivate children's healthy minds, shape children's lofty morality, and guide children to establish a correct outlook on life ... These aspects of training are irreplaceable by artificial intelligence.

In the future school education, artificial intelligence will be more widely used in all fields of our education and teaching, but artificial intelligence can not completely replace the status and role of teachers.

With the popularization of artificial intelligence, the future educational trend will also change.

The role of teachers goes far beyond imparting knowledge. Teachers need to educate students individually and pay attention to their characteristics and needs, so they need to have high interpersonal skills. Teachers need to be able to establish close contact with students, understand their learning progress, learning difficulties and needs, and provide personalized guidance for different students.

Secondly, teachers need to stimulate students' interest and innovative ability. Education is not only the transfer of knowledge, but also the stimulation of students' thinking and innovation ability. Teachers need to guide students to think and explore and cultivate their creativity and innovative spirit. This process requires teachers to have rich teaching experience and knowledge accumulation, as well as in-depth understanding and understanding of students.

To sum up, although artificial intelligence has a certain application in the field of education, the role of teachers in interpersonal skills, personalized education and innovation stimulation is irreplaceable. Therefore, teachers will not be replaced by artificial intelligence, but need to work together with artificial intelligence to jointly promote the development of education.
