What is education? Author Junaid M Cheema answers this question in Rediscovering Education in the AI Age, so that his readers might see what education “was always meant to be.” He argues that the vast knowledge of artificial intelligence can be harnessed for a stronger educational system that can transform students into truly educated individuals who possess knowledge of the world, of the good, and of the self, and develop their bodies, hearts, minds, and spirits to become not only more capable and responsible, but to continue to meet the challenges and opportunities that AI offers them now and in the future. In doing so, educators might move beyond their roles as mere allocators of knowledge and instead facilitate new ways for their students to work with artificial intelligence so they might discover themselves and hone their talents to face their futures with confidence.
As a former educator, I must admit to being skeptical of Junaid M Cheema’s argument initially. However, upon reading the book, I can better see the potential of artificial intelligence in education. Take, for example, the concept of “borrowed capacity.” According to the author, borrowing the capacity of AI – for instance, its rapid access to knowledge across the internet – could augment classroom lessons. In this case, AI would act as a tutor to the student, rather than help them cheat, which is the typical practice now. AI also could be used when a student is considering future careers. The author points to its ability to help create music so that a student could determine whether they have the desire (and the talent) to pursue a career as a musician or songwriter before dedicating years to becoming one. It is thought-provoking concepts such as these that make Rediscovering Education in the AI Age well worth reading.
