             A1 has come a long way, but human surveillance is still essential. Christopher Yang
     Creative and innovative thinkers are in demand in our world and for future jobs.  Young people who can think on their feet and create interesting answers to common sense questions and problems in our world are needed.  If they allow computers to do the “thinking” and become dependent on those computers to do this essentially human act, where will we be as a race?
     In medicine, it has revolutionized the compilation of symptoms and facts concerning a person’s illness. Surgery robots operate logically, not empathetically.  A1 does not account for a person’s economic conditions or their personal preferences. Patient privacy and security are issues (88% of those involved in security realize the risks already.). Some jobs that our students are now training for may become redundant even before they finish their education.
     What about A1 in education?  It may be useful to provide personalized learning for students, but where will that “pat on the back” for a problem solved or a weakness overcome be? It may automate teacher jobs making it easier for them to accumulate reports for administrators, but will it put a smile on their face for a job well done? It may simulate virtually science facts, but where does the hands-on learning occur? The cost is pricey which means the disadvantaged students will become more disadvantaged.
Will the dependence on technology mean that students will lack the experience of developing essential skills of problem solving and critical thinking so needed in their obtaining of life skills or necessary social interactions?
          The use of A1 in education needs a “careful and responsible” approach, according to writer Junaid Tahir.
           In August 2023, Carlie on the Instrucko website says --
It is essential to cautiously take into account the blessings and drawbacks of A1 earlier than implementing it in our schools.
    So no matter what highly-educated parents believe who think they know best for their children, perhaps they should consider if they want their children to be creative, loving grownups someday or smarter-than-smart robots.
