In particular, how Mr. Panagiotis Anastasiadis reported this to K., research supervisor and professor at the Univ. The Crete research team reached out to teachers through social media. As it turned out from their answers, seven out of ten (71.5%) believe that they do not understand many things about artificial intelligence, and another 16.5% said they have heard about artificial intelligence, but do not understand what it is about. . According to Mr. Anastasiadis, the first things respondents thought of when they heard the term “artificial intelligence” were robots, technology, fear-anxiety, future-evolution, alienation-isolation, science, ethics. “They worry about the wrong things. For example, they believe that artificial intelligence will replace humans in the economy. For example, they fear that ChatGPT students will copy, and ChatGPT has no bibliographic support,” notes Mr. Anastasiades.

At the same time, the majority believes that developments in the field of artificial intelligence will create fewer jobs than they will destroy (45.9% of respondents said so). Far fewer (25.9%) believe they will create more jobs than they destroy.

Conversely, 14.4% believe that artificial intelligence is likely to replace the teaching profession, and 1.8% definitely.
