ROBO-TEACHER IS COMING BUT DON’T EXPECT TO BE INSPIRED
INCREASING USE OF MACHINES IN THE CLASSROOM MEANS TEACHERS
WILL BE LESS IMPORTANT, OXFORD ACADEMIC WARNS
Robots could replace teachers as the primary source of information
in classrooms around the world, according to a leading academic.
Michael Osborne, associate professor of machine learning at the
University of Oxford, warned that the increasing use of machines in
the classroom will mean that teachers will be less important when
transmitting knowledge.
“Technology allows superior delivery of information,” said
Prof Osborne.
“It seems pointless to have a teacher or lecturer standing in
front of a classroom statically delivering content that might be better
absorbed through online videos, thereby leaving the teacher time
to engage with students in a more interactive fashion.”
He said, however, that teaching remained a long way from being
fully automated because scientists were yet to develop artifi cial
intelligence that could provide the emotional or pastoral guidance
offered in most schools.
“Simply put, teachers render themselves safe from automation in
engaging deeply with students, rather than teaching like a machine,”
said Prof Osborne.
“Machines still don’t have the same deep understanding of
human society that teachers must rely on.
“In particular, the social intelligence required to monitor a classroom,
or to inspire students struggling with a concept, is likely [to remain]
beyond the scope of algorithms for at least 20 years.”
Apart from teachers having less prominence in the classroom,
students would also have to take more control of their learning, he said.
Prof Osborne added: “Each student will have a device at their
desk which will be delivering their content tailored to their interest
and expertise, rather than everyone receiving the same material
from the teacher in front of the class.”
Prof Osborne’s warning follows earlier research that he conducted
with fellow Oxford academic Carl Benedikt Frey that concluded that
those in highly creative jobs were less likely to be replaced in the
next two decades.
The research, carried out for Nesta, the innovation charity, showed
that 24 per cent of jobs in the UK were in creative industries – a higher
percentage than in the US – and that nearly 90 per cent of workers
in these industries were at little or no risk of being made redundant
by technologies.

The title
“Robo-teacher is coming but don’t expect to be inspired”
suggests the main argument of the text is:

Considering the text, it is correct to affirm that:
A) teachers will be less important in the future
B) workers in all industries will lose their jobs
C) social intelligence will be automated in 20 years
D) teaching is about transmitting knowledge
E) machines cannot engage deeply with students

categories according to their main meanings: permission/possibility/
ability; volition/prediction; obligation/necessity” “(Longman Grammar

expected by chance”.

A) 20 years (line 24)
B) primary source (line 1)
C) Oxford academic (line 32)
