The Downside of Artificial Intelligence in Taking over the Educational System.

Technology has contributed to the growth and development of humans, tasks have become easier to carry out, and the system has been greatly favourable to man. In the educational sector, artificial intelligence provides students with the opportunity of learning personally and learning at the space of the student. As much as artificial intelligence is associated with so many advantages that we know, the disadvantages that come with the system are equally enormous.

So many people are already accepting the artificial system form of learning, the pandemic has opened more eyes to believing in that method of learning, but while we accept this system, we also need to bear in mind the disadvantages that the adoption of the system poises.

The system is very expensive to operate and it is not every school or every parent that may have the ability to get an artificial intelligence system for their kids, this only means that some students will enjoy the educational system while others will be left behind.

The artificial system method of learning is highly addictive, just like games and other evolvement brought by advancement in technology, there might be a high level of addiction to the computer or to the machine by the users (students).

As time goes on it is feared that most teachers may lose their jobs as every school accepts this method of teaching even private tutors may no longer be required if these system of learning is widely acceptable, this also means there will no longer be any connection between student and teachers as there was initially.

Just imagine that someone has the ability to hack into the system, while parents are not around, the machine may begin to teach kids the wrong thing spreading wrong information and even violence wherever necessary, in cases like this it will take a very long time for parents to notice through the action of the child and in some circumstances, things might have gotten destroyed.

In order to accept the widespread teaching system of artificial intelligence, a large portion of electricity will be consumed and if this method will be widely accepted it means more fund will go into powering the artificial system.

The cost system of repair will be really great if there is ever a need for that, more resources and money will be spent just to get it fixed. In most cases, these machines only work within their area of specification, they do not have the ability to do otherwise, this means if you might have to purchase different machines for different tasks.

Disclaimer: This post is not to condemn the acceptance of the artificial intelligence leaning system, it is rather to alert us of the danger that the system comes with and know how to avoid them.
