Artificial Intelligence in the Future of Education

Advances in artificial intelligence invite us to reimagine the horizons of education and question how to train the generations that will inhabit uncertain futures. This chapter starts from that concern: what will education be like in a world driven by AI? What human and social skills should we cultivate in order to live, learn, and create alongside intelligent machines? From a future-oriented perspective, it proposes an open, exploratory, and creative approach that recognizes uncertainty as a source of possibility. Far from seeking definitive answers, the text invites us to expand our collective imagination, explore different educational scenarios, and generate alternatives that inspire new ways of learning, teaching, and coexisting. The findings of the chapter show that the future of AI in education will involve: (a) Innovation, (b) Complexity, (c) Ethics, and (d) Sovereignty, providing keys to rethinking educational processes from a more flexible, inclusive, and committed perspective to sustainable development. This work seeks to serve as a guide and source of inspiration for educational communities, decision-makers, and agents of change who wish to build a more humane and creative educational future that is conscious of the transformative role that artificial intelligence can play in tomorrow’s society.
