“You have to stop thinking that you can teach exactly the way you used to teach when the basic medium has changed,” stated Houman Harouni, Harvard Graduate School of Education lecturer, in a GSE article written by Elizabeth M. Ross. While most Harvard professors agree that AI is here to stay and will only benefit teaching, they disagree on what role it should play in the classroom, as artificial intelligence has concurrently been integrated into our courses in ways that have rendered certain traditional methods obsolete. It simultaneously modifies what skills are focused on in the classroom and how students demonstrate their knowledge. The future of what our Harvard education and courses will look like remains uncertain— in this uncertainty, we must continue to learn from other living humans, not our screens.
