Argentina Explores AI's Potential in Education, Despite Digital Divide Challenges
Argentina is exploring the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform its education system, with the Ministry of Human Capital leading the charge. However, the digital divide in the country may pose challenges to this integration, risking further widening of existing inequalities.
The Ministry's program aims to integrate AI into primary and secondary education, focusing on adaptive learning software, virtual tutors, and intelligent assessment systems. These tools personalize learning paths, automate routine tasks, and expand access to education through online classrooms. UNESCO and the Federal Council of Education back this initiative.
However, structural limits such as lack of digital devices, unequal connectivity, and varying teacher training may hinder AI integration. A private initiative is also pioneering AI use in Argentine education. To succeed, AI's incorporation requires rethinking learning foundations and teaching students how to navigate new technologies. Countries like Estonia and South Korea have public policies to train teachers in AI use, a crucial step for Argentina as well. For AI to be a true ally in education, integral policies, institutional commitment, and critical pedagogical approaches are necessary.
Argentina's AI education project, supported by UNESCO and the Federal Council of Education, holds promise but faces structural challenges. To ensure AI benefits all students, the country must address digital divides, train teachers, and adopt integral policies. Successful integration of AI could transform teaching, learning, and evaluation, but it requires careful navigation of these obstacles.
