AI in Education: Transforming the teaching profession and unlocking future opportunities in Algeria

Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming numerous sectors, the world of education is not exempt from this technological revolution. AI-based assistants are now being developed to support teachers or substitute for certain aspects of their work. This incursion of cognitive technologies in the school environment raises questions about the future of the teaching profession: is the advent of AI set to completely reshuffle the cards of the profession or redefine it at the margin? Our article will first examine the existing educational applications of AI and their current strengths and limitations. Then, backed by a prospective analysis, we will consider the plausible evolutions of these tools. The aim is to provide a nuanced insight into the challenges and new opportunities that this techno-pedagogical revolution could open in order to rethink or even improve the teaching of tomorrow.
