I interviewed AI. He thinks that classical education can prosper with technology. – Watch out for campus

In higher education, promising academics can dream of conducting interviews and discussion groups in a foreign language in a hot and distant place. It doesn't always work this way. You go where the information can be found. By confronting the elementary challenge to integrate classical education into artificial intelligence (AI), I decided to carry out interviews with AI chatbots to see if there was a consensus on how to integrate classical education and Christian humanism with new technology. I asked for Anthropic Claude,, OPENAI Chatgpt, and x's Goer For their comments on how to do this thing. The results were surprising. Not only did I discover a chatbot consensus, but I was also told that a good teaching, alongside AI, must prioritize the dialogue and the face to face, as well as the communication of critical thinking by writing and speech. It turns out that silicon silicon -based assistants consider effective teaching in the future as similar to that of the past.

Academicians love to promote the implications of their studies, and they often make the headlines. People rarely check the quality of the data, the design or the replicability of a study. I asked this exact question:

I am a teacher and I want to integrate AI into teaching in my university pedagogy. I teach from a classic educational point of view and I want to teach from a Christian humanist point of view. I also want to make sure that my students learn critical thinking and can no longer trust them to write articles because of their outsourcing of work at AI. How can I systematically teach them and assess them with this new technology without losing quality.

Each of the three AIs I interviewed gave the same three themes: to focus on oral communication and debate, detailed handwritten work and the critical thinking process, and emphasizing primary texts while criticizing the production of AI.

Claude, AI model of anthropic, which effort For ethics and security, suggested that teachers interested in the place of classical teaching, handwritten work, oral exams and reading, discussion and class debate at the Center des Cours. To instill critical thinking, it suggested placing the process on the product. Openai is the best known and a little more sociopath The predecessor, Chatgpt, stressed by incorporating a class discussion on classic Western texts, the same oral debates and discussions, but with the idea that students integrate individualized ideas of faith in their work to promote the development of characters. Elon Musk’s Grok offered more intense suggestions, such as handwritten journals, integrating trivium into course programs and engaging in active debate with AI models alongside active problems with other students.

These responses offer lively overviews in the future in which classical education cannot only be invigorated but incorporated into the teaching of human sciences and social sciences at a time that threatens to push human beings outside the workplace and in obsolescence. AI models clearly indicated that students should use technology as a tool while learning to rely on their humanity. Hand writing is slow but integral to learning due to its neurological benefits and ability to strengthen cognitive development. Currently, college and younger students are increasingly difficult to speak phone Or face to face. What AI suggests would help to alleviate this problem while integrating the development of critical thinking and reasoning alongside the pathetic and emotion holding human interaction.

Noting the importance of economic relevance for education, I of course asked chatbots a question of follow-up: “Are a final result and the end of these approaches to cultivate interpersonal communication?” Self -awareness? Or an understanding of human nature? Is it always relevant in the economy of tomorrow? Claude's response was surprisingly humanist and optimistic. Claude noted that the skills described above are not only resistant to automation, but that this new approach to education obliges students to face their own human nature and to cultivate understanding, empathy and vigilance to protect themselves against its excesses and cultivate what is good on this subject. Claude told me that:

Irony is that, as AI becomes more widespread, education that develops these deeper human capacities does not become obsolete but rather more precious. A Christian humanist approach that adopts new technologies while remaining rooted in timeless wisdom offers students something more precious than technical training alone: ​​the ability to remain fully human in a rapidly evolving world.

Claude not only confirmed conventional education, but also underlined a path to follow for what is then coming for a profession currently in crisis and in full-fledged fusion due to the drop in inscriptions, identity policy, hyper-political and economic non-perfection. Something new is necessary; Fortunately, AI has the potential to be the key to improving higher education.

A civilization cannot survive without the capacity to cultivate high levels of learning and self -awareness. At the same time, neither education nor civilization can work without soul. Classical education operates by assuming that the soul is not only imperfect and universal but invaluable and something to be cultivated during a lifetime. Human beings do not live alone by analysis but by developing their reasoning alongside the culture of humility, empathy and the virtues necessary for autonomy and citizenship.

When it is integrated correctly, AI is well operated to rebuild classical education for the future.
