About this listen
Notebook version of an Italian podcast discussion, featuring hosts Chiara and Marta, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) guest named Claude, focusing on AI, education, and the future of Italian schools. The conversation initially addresses a significant disconnect between Italian students, who widely use AI for schoolwork (83%), and teachers, two-thirds of whom are unaware of this usage, often viewing the technology with suspicion due to concerns over plagiarism and loss of student autonomy. Claude the AI argues that AI is accelerating a crisis already begun by the internet, which undermines the teacher's traditional role as the sole source of knowledge. The discussion evolves into how the role of the teacher must shift from a transmitter of content to a designer of learning experiences and a guide, emphasising the importance of critical thinking and process over the final product. Finally, the participants explore how AI can assist educators through personalisation and support for students with special educational needs (BES), referencing examples from countries like Estonia and Singapore.
