The primary goal of physics teaching is to educate human beings to science and its nature. However, as technology continues to evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining prominence not only in technical and scientific domains but also in education. Recently, the rise of AI has sparked both concern and enthusiasm among educators, affording new opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning.
As we navigate this fast-evolving landscape, several questions arise: What competences, practices, and aspects of human development do we aim to foster, and how does the availability of AI-based systems impact their teaching and learning? How should we, as educators, frame AI-based systems and our – and our students’ – interactions with them? Is it even possible to “collaborate” with AI in meaningful ways? The panelists, all experts in physics education research, will bring a variety of expertise and perspectives, from technical considerations to ethical implications.
