Artificial Intelligence is soon going to pose an overwhelming challenge to the Indian educators. The Indian education system is now facing a serious challenge due to the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI has the potential to revolutionise the way we learn and teach, educators look ill-equipped to handle the transformative changes that are required.

The use of AI-based learning technologies in the Indian context is not going to be easy. However, this will require a significant shift in the mindset of educators who will need to become facilitators instead of just information providers. They will need to guide students in their quest for knowledge, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, this raises the question of whether teachers are ready for this shift and do they posses the necessary skill to make the shift? Before that, are they even aware of the crisis that they will face soon?

Moreover, the adoption of AI in education requires a significant investment in technology and infrastructure at all levels. Both, the private institutions and the government needs to take a proactive role in providing the necessary resources and funding to educational institutes. This also raises questions about how much funding will be allocated to education and whether the government is prepared to invest in the future of education? Follow up question would be investment in which area?

No doubt that AI is going to revolutionise education and will bring about positive changes, but it will require a significant transformation period for educators and educational institutes. The instructional methodology needs to be redesigned to incorporate AI-based learning technologies, and the educational policy needs to be revised to keep up with the advancements in technology. Again the question how soon can it happen?

The challenge is not just about adapting to the new order but also about keeping pace with the rapid advancements in AI. How can we ensure that educators are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to teach in the AI era? What measures can be taken to ensure that students have access to quality education that is both personalised and effective? With the current system, educators will soon find themselves redundant? It is a serious concern.

The future of education in India depends on our ability to adapt to this transformative change. Educators need to transform their teaching methods and adopt new technologies to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape but again how? and who has the master plan and direction?
