Like every evening, the 11pm news report takes a look at the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s the Eurozapping of Wednesday, September 18.
In this geography class, there is no need to hide to use AI, it is the one that gave the answer. Antoine Marmy, a teacher in a middle school in Fribourg (Switzerland), indicates that students “must first make hypotheses and then consult artificial intelligence. Afterwards, they will be able to see if there are differences.” An artificial intelligence that has already won over students: “A math problem, if I can’t solve it, she explains the solution to me very well” ; “I am a German speaker, I use it mainly to translate words I don’t know.”
So there is no question of burying one’s head in the sand. “We are challenged in our skills, in what we do. So we have to tame it. The best way is to test, to try.”explains Pierre Marti, director of this college in Fribourg. The key word is to support students with today’s tools.
