Last December in\u00a0OEB Conference<\/a>\u00a0the audience faced a question of whether we would prefer a robot or a human to do an eye surgery. Majority of listeners, myself included, preferred a robot. Obviously the OEB conference attendees have already a digital mindset. Quoting Dr.\u00a0Andr\u00e1s Sz\u0171cs\u00a0<\/a>, it is not the most efficient approach to preach about hell to those who go to church every Sunday. Still the fact that the same people who were vowing digital, were predicting the future of soft skills. Dr. Anja Wagner<\/a>\u00a0painted a future what we can\u2019t even imagine yet, and at the same time in the showroom area different companies are providing their solutions for not existing problems. The thought that we haven\u2019t yet been innovative enough<\/em> continues to gnaw at me.<\/strong>We are living an era of machine learning. They learn a lot quicker than humans and they never repeat the same mistake. Why would I trust the human doctor more than a machine using the big data? At the same time, despite of Ofstedt-reports declaring students\u2019 academical success, I choose my kids\u2019 school purely on intuition. To be honest with you, I couldn\u2019t care less what is their future scores in A-levels as long as they cherish their love to learn, they find the useful and accurate most truthful information and they are able to apply it and most importantly \u2013 they are able to think out of the box. So if I\u2019d prefer my doctor to be a machine or at least I\u2019d trust more a doctor assisted by big data (and I am not referring to Dr. Google), why wouldn\u2019t I trust my kids or myself to learn with a robot?As long as I remember people have predicted certain jobs to be disappearing because of robots. Now we finally start to be in that stage. In many factories human work force is not needed anymore. At the same time the most courageous people are predicting even lawyers\u2019 jobs to be replaced by robots and you can always test your own profession\u2019s likelihood to get taken over by a robot here.<\/a>\u00a0Teachers are still predicted to be totally safe according to this page, whereas teacher assistants get 56% likelihood to be replaced. Well, no one can deny the fact that teachers\u2019 skills and ability to make their students learn, vary a lot.When students say they actually prefer the robot to the teacher<\/a>, we start to have a hunch about the future. According to Professor John Hattie<\/a>\u00a0it was non-judgemental nature of interactions that made the students enjoy more. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 one of our biggest fears is to get a stigma of stupid or slow learner and everyone knows how excruciating it feels if someone is using that power to judge you. If the doctor or the teacher is not listening or not encouraging \u2013 what is there really left that couldn\u2019t be replaced by a good interactive software?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
