AI AND TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION.
1. INTRODUCTION.
Recently the government in the Western Cape province in South Africa announced that it was becoming one of the leading centres in the world as regards AI and Tech. The benefits of AI and Tech was emphasised with specific emphasis on education.
Recently the basic education act in South Africa was amended and has now become a tool to undermine families and to encourage abortion, amongst other things. A large number of teachers in this province were recently retrenched and now there is hope that AI and Tech can improve the education.
Perhaps Educators in South Africa should take a look at other countries in the world and see the results of AI in schools. On the other hand a large number of jobs have and will be created in AI and Technology. But what will happen to the teachers? Will they be replaced by technology?
2. A SHORT HISTORY OF AI/TECHNOLOGY:
The early history of AI in technology began in 1900’s. A big leap forward started in the 1950’s. What is AI? It is a speciality within computer science, to copy human intelligence and to improve problem solving.
A mass of data collected over the years is processed and streamlined to improve current and future problem solving and various systems, like education. A few robots also appeared on the scene.Then machine intelligence developed rapidly.
Between 1981 to 1987 deep breakthroughs in research occurred and government funding came to the fore and was applied to “deep learning techniques”. The first driverless car appeared in Germany . In 1998 a program was developed to provide conversations with human beings. Chess playing programmes came to the fore. Between 1995 and 2010 many robots appeared.
Companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Twitter started to use AI as part of their advertising programmes. Apple developed SIRI as a virtual assistant.
From about 2011 till today there has been a huge surge in the day to day use of AI.Names such as Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak came to the fore. Facebook developed two chat boxes and they chatted to each each other and eventually developed their own language!
Looking into the future:
A lot more robots. More businesses will use AI more and more. The AI tool will be usefull to create a New World Order.
3. EDUCATION AND DAILY EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY AND AI:
Young people in the world today communicate with masses but ignore people around them. The elderly are totally ignored . Students ignore each other,don’t read books,and are consumed by mass information.
Spiritual growth, when AI is used, is effectively nil. It is not unusual to read about church leaders who encourage the use of AI. But fear and suicide increases daily.Young babies are ignored by parents.Turn on a cellular phone and listen to music! Sit in a coffee shop with you baby, place a laptop onto a table switch it on and let your baby watch the screen with great joy.Totally removed from Mom as she enjoys her coffee. Turn on the T.V and do the same.
So often in Scripture i have read about Jesus knocking on a door waiting for only one person to open it so that He can reach others behind the door.
Technology has opened many doors for our children and almost ever day we hear how technology and AI can replace human teachers and hugely improve education. All doors now opened wide by educators, social media, parents and even churches.State institutions promote AI in order to improve education and reduce the number of teachers. These open doors lead to all types of evil,pornography and many other negative spiritual activities.
ANALOGUE EDUCATION CONNECTS TO PEOPLE AROUND YOU,TO STUDENTS AROUND YOU,TO TEACHERS AROUND YOU AND TO HUMAN CONNECTION.
Recently Sweden removed Tech and AI from their education systems. The results have been far more than positive. There is also a movement in the U.K.starting to promote the removal of AI and Technology from the education system. Australia has started to restrict the amount of time used for AI and Technology in education. Denmark and Norway have also started to restrict AI and Tech. The arts and poetry have been severely damaged as a result of Tech and AI.
A great deal more can be said around the education system in the world today but here are a few points worth taking into consideration regarding your child’s education:
Bring back pens,papers and books. Read books to them. Follow the examples of some highly intelligent people in the AI and Tech world. Mark Zuckerberg’s children not educated via AI and or Tech. Bill Gates doesn’t approve of Tech education. Steve Jobs did not allow his children to use AI or Tech. The United Nations has also stated that Tech is not good for education.
Much more can be said about this subject. PLEASE BE WARNED ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION AND SAFETY.
