Sophie Winkleman, at the ARC conference, argued against introducing AI in classrooms, citing concerns over children's data being harvested by digital tools. She believes that AI, while powerful, should not replace traditional teaching methods, like blackboards and chalk, which foster genuine learning and human interaction. Winkleman emphasized the importance of teaching skills that AI cannot replicate and warned against the reliance on digital platforms, characterizing them as "neurological junk food" that can hinder educational effectiveness in favor of more meaningful, human-centered approaches.
Artificial intelligence should be kept out of classrooms, as it undermines genuine learning and promotes reliance on an ageing system that doesn't foster essential human skills.
Sophie Winkleman argued for a return to traditional teaching tools, emphasizing that AI's role in education can have detrimental effects on students' learning and development.
