Introduction

“Everything that I invent, everything that I imagine, will always fall short of the truth, because there will come a time when the creations of science will outstrip those of the imagination.”

Jules Verne in a letter to Charles Lemire

“Everything that I invent, everything that I imagine, will always fall short of the truth, because there will come a time when the creations of science will outstrip those of the imagination.” This reflection from Jules Verne in a letter to Charles Lemire resonates profoundly as we envision the classroom of 2060. It compels us to question: Are we moving toward an educational paradigm where AI not only supports but enhances the human endeavor of teaching? Or could we be inadvertently paving the way for a future where human educators are obsolete, and homogenized AI dictates the nuances of our languages and thinking?
