人工智能的教育应用思辨

Speculation about the Educational Application of Artificial Intelligence

人工智能被人们定位为即将到来的第四次技术革命。从这一新技术的内涵来看,其革命性不仅表现为技术自身的进阶,而且比以往任何一次技术革命更触动人的心灵,甚至可能导致人与技术关系的异变。人工智能在教育中的应用目前还只是一种趋势,但我们可以基于教育系统的需求和人工智能的潜力对未来做出预测。整体地看,人工智能的应用,一方面能带来更高的教育效率和更好的教育效果,另一方面也可能带来教育者的精神危机和教育过程的教育性损减。但我们相信,人类的理性足以引导自己最大限度地从人工智能中获益,同时最大限度地回避人工智能可能带来的风险。

AI(Artificial Intelligence)is positioned as the fourth coming technological revolution.From the connotation of this new technology,its revolution is the advancement of the technology itself,and it also touches people more than any previous technological revolution,and may even lead to a different relationship between people and technology.The use of AI in education is still a trend,but we can make predictions about the future based on the needs of the education system and the potential of AI.On the whole,the application of AI,on the one hand,can bring higher educational efficiency and better educational effect;on the other hand,it may also bring spiritual crisis of educators and educational loss of the education process.But we believe that humans are rational enough to guide themselves to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing the risks it may pose.
