Abstract
This academic article aims to discuss the roles and influences of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that are rapidly transforming the educational landscape, especially in replacing teachers in certain processes such as lesson design, assessment, personalized guidance, as well as the use of intelligent tutoring systems and AI teaching assistants. However, despite the high efficiency and the ability of AI to generate new content from existing data, it still has limitations in terms of ethics, transparency, and risks of replacing human labor. Moreover, AI cannot substitute the role of teachers in nurturing moral values, inspiring students, and fostering lively human interactions between teachers and learners. This article suggests that AI should be perceived as a “tool” to enhance teaching and learning efficiency, not as a complete replacement for humans. The survival of teachers in the AI era depends on adaptability, continuous learning, and critical use of technology with the aim of enhancing the quality of life and humanity of learners in the long term.
