Core Argument - The education sector is currently experiencing hype around AI, similar to past technological disruptions, but the long-term impact and potential risks of AI in education are still largely unknown [1][5][7][8] - The integration of AI in education requires a critical approach, focusing on contextualization and reflection, rather than blindly adopting AI tools [14][38] - Over-reliance on AI-generated content can lead to homogenization and a decline in quality, emphasizing the need for educators to maintain and apply their expertise [17][19] Role of Educators - Educators are essential for guiding students in critically evaluating AI-generated information and addressing the "paradox of AI integration," where more AI necessitates more human expertise [12][22][23] - Educators should act as "Mythbusters," using scientific principles to assess and integrate AI tools effectively, focusing on curriculum relevance and student needs [24][29] - Educators need to develop a "KI Strategie" (AI strategy) that demonstrates a critical engagement with AI, which is increasingly important to parents when choosing schools [36] Practical Recommendations - Educational institutions should prioritize AI tools that are DSGVO (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant, registration-free, and offer institutional licenses [26][27] - AI tools should be system-independent, accessible on various devices, and checked by educators to ensure alignment with educational goals [28][29] - The "Machine Usefulness" approach, combining human expertise with AI capabilities, is recommended for effective AI integration in education [37] Potential Pitfalls - Over-investing in technology like smartboards without a pedagogical strategy is insufficient for successful digital integration in schools [33] - Assuming that digital literacy is solely an IT issue is a misconception that needs to be addressed within educational institutions [34] - Schools that fail to develop an AI strategy risk becoming obsolete, similar to companies that ignored technological advancements [35]
