Teachers or artificial intelligence: who will be the foundation of the educationalprocess in the future?

Abstract

The article analyzes the interaction between teachers and artificial intelligence in the educational process. The study explores the hypothesis that artificial intelligence will not fully replace teachers but will instead become an important tool that complements their work. Based on surveys conducted with educators, students, and parents, the key directions for AI integration in education have been identified, as well as the prospects for using technology in various aspects of learning, such as personalized education, automation of routine tasks, and fostering creativity. The final conclusions indicate that the symbiosis of teachers and AI is the most effective model for the future of education, where technology supports but does not replace the teacher’s role. The teacher remains irreplaceable in shaping personality, developing critical thinking, and fostering student socialization. The article highlights the importance of adapting the education system to new technological realities, ensuring a balance between digital tools and traditional teaching methods to achieve high learning outcomes.
