So, guys, what are your thoughts on AI?

>> It's such a new thing, so I don't really

understand if it's a bad thing or a good

thing.

>> There is a big group of teachers that

think that AI is ruining the school

system or the educational system.

>> And ruining Icelandic.

>> Yeah.

>> They always thinking about the students

are cheating

>> Yeah.

>> when they're using AI.

>> Some of the teachers know about AI, but

they [music] just look the other way.

So, it's kind of like this, we're trying

to hide it, he's trying to not know

about it, but everyone [music]

knows it's there and knows it's being

used.

>> The [music] current generation of both

educators and students, they're in the

same tsunami of change.

So, we have to find out new ways of

doing things.

>> We got an email, just like saying,

"Would you be interested

>> in

>> being like project managers

for the pilot program?"

>> We really like when we are asked to work

together.

>> Mhm.

>> And therefore we said, "Yes." We have

been teaching together for uh 17 years.

>> She's also my best friend.

Should I describe her more or

>> [music]

>> AI was like a new thing for us.

>> We became the students and we learned

how to use it.

>> I don't know how to program or anything

like that, but with AI I can create

games. Just makes learning easier in a

way.

>> Yes, I'm using AI. Does not save me time

at the moment. I have to put in a lot of

effort to change [music] what I am

teaching.

>> AI helps me quite often when I'm

studying [music] because it helps me

understand what I'm doing.

>> But, I think the role of a teacher is to

inspire students. And that's something

that AI does not have.

>> [music]

>> You know, you see Tinna and you see a

great woman that you're like, "Wow, I

kind of want to be like her."

But, AI is not

like that.

>> AI, I mean, I hope it will be useful.

I'm not using it much, I think.

>> I think everyone's going to use it in

the future, so

>> Uh, we are vocational school, mostly.

Uh,

we do everything from fixing cars

to building houses. Got electrical

department. We got nature department.

And also the hairdressers. That's pretty

nice thing to have

when you need to get your hair cut.

>> My department is heavily AI [music]

users.

We, in the vocational

area, we are always trying to make

[music] things easier so we can do more.

If we can get something to help us to

work faster, to work better, then why

not use [music] it?

>> AI helps us to reduce the time we need

to build [music] quality material.

Like drawings and and interactive stuff.

>> I feel like AI can help a lot of people,

but people aren't using it to help other

[music] people. They're just using it to

generate AI slop.

People see it as [music] like an easy

way out of like projects and school

projects, so they don't learn. So, it

just becomes uncreative and that just

ruins the most human thing [music] in

the world.

The right approach to using AI would be

using it like a teacher, not someone to

do the work for you. Help you like get

started on things or teach you more

[music] about sources or direct you to

websites that you they're helpful, but

not like here are the answer from A to Z

on this test or something.

>> [music]

>> I have a brother who is suspicious of

it.

Thinks it's going to take over like in

Terminator.

>> I don't think about it at

>> [music]

>> at all.

>> [music]

[music]

>> We have three children. The oldest is

18. He is too quick to go to AI.

They have a topic they have to do an

assignment on. They have some material

from the teacher and

books. I think he skips maybe that part

and just goes straight to the AI. So, I

have to be able to put some boundaries

also.

But, it's also a part of being a parent.

You are not very popular.

When AI was new, I thought that it would

just ruin everything and we didn't have

to think independently anymore or

anything, but I went back to school.

They are teaching us to use it and then

I realized the possibilities and I think

it's very important, but I think we need

guidance with [music] it.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> I think

Iceland is just an optimistic

country.

>> [music]

>> We live in just darkness,

so I think you just have to be

optimistic. We just get depressed.

>> I don't have a clue how it's going to be

in the future.

>> [music]

>> I think we're making the right steps as

teachers, but I guess

the future will tell us.

>> I think we have survival instincts

[music] in using tools for continuing

our existence on this rock in the

Atlantic.

>> [music]

>> So, what do you think is the right way

to approach all of this?

>> Yeah, Yeah, I think I would say say that

to this.

>> 100%

>> [laughter]

>> Sota at dust.

We'll figure it out.
