Artificial intelligence should be kept out of the classrooms, said a royal family member and actor.
Sophie Winkleman, who was called Lady Frederick Windsor, also suggested that schools should bring blackboards and chalk back instead of relying on smartboards when they spoke in a political center-right meeting in East London.
The actress, which is known for playing the comedy Peep Show in Channel 4 Big Suze, previously objected to her support for a ban on under 16 by smartphones and was a supporter for strengthening the online security law.
She informed the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) in the London Excel Center that there is talk of “AI is pumped into our classroom and children’s data is harvested to better improve AI”.
“Why?” She asked and added: “The fact that AI will soon surpass people in many areas. Her students are the deepest human skills that AI will replace more difficult. “
She listed “empathy, concentration, eloquent and humorous discussion and creative expression” among the skills that AI could not teach.
The actor continued to question the use of AI in schools and added: “Why does a child digitally convey to the Egyptian pyramids better than this child who imagines it?
“This type of jazz crowd as an engagement tool does not work.
“The need to imagine and make the student a passive than an active learner.”
When she criticized the introduction of education technology, Winkleman said that there is “no consensus” that interactive smartboards that were used in classrooms across the country are “safe”.
When she signaled that she wanted to see a return to analog learning, she said that smartboards were “just as effective as a teacher who is advertised on the black and whiteboard in this second”.
“Nevertheless, we seem to march into a world in which screens replace books,” she added.
