Resumen

The emergence of powerful natural language Artificial Intelligence systems, such as ChatGPT 4.0, has created a new dynamic in schools, colleges and universities. Some see the present moment as a turning point in our thinking about teaching, learning and assessment, with new approaches and practices suddenly becoming possible. Others are concerned that unleashing powerful AI tools on an unready education system may distort and damage a fragile system. AI tools can be used to advance the agenda of technification and the global education reform movement (GERM) or can be used to enable a mindset shift to a more engaged, authentic, compassionate, and collaborative approach to teaching and learning. This paper explores this moment of truth.
