6 Things that Teachers Provide That AI Cannot

Tools powered by artificial intelligence have the potential to increase people’s productivity and make many tasks easier to do. In the K-12 world, educators are already using AI tools to plan lessons, create rubrics, provide feedback on student assignments, and respond to parent emails.

While there are a handful of teacher tasks that generative AI tools can replicate, teachers also have so many other strengths and responsibilities that would be very unlikely to be replaced by those tools. Here are some teacher tasks that are unlikely to be taken over by AI tools, according to interviews and email responses from educators, AI researchers, and tech company CEOs:

1. Teaching critical thinking
2. Building relationships with students
3. Motivating students
4. Creating a positive learning environment
5. Providing high-quality feedback on student performance
6. Attending to students' basic needs
