- Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Teacher Training: Perceptions of Future TeachersPublication . Gonçalves, Bruno F.; Patrício, Maria Raquel; Mesquita, ElzaThe growing presence of AI-based tools in teaching practices presents new challenges for training institutions, requiring future teachers to be prepared not only to use these technologies but also to critically understand their implications. This study aims to investigate future teachers’ perceptions of the main challenges of AI in teacher training, focusing on three central dimensions: technological, pedagogical, and ethical challenges. The research employed a quantitative–descriptive approach, utilizing a questionnaire-based method with a sample of 72 participants. The respondents were students enrolled in the Bachelor’s degree in Basic Education and the professional Master’s degree in Teaching at a higher education institution located in northern Portugal. The results not only reveal a widespread perception of the relevance of AI for pedagogical practice but also point to significant limitations. On the technological level, difficulties related to the available infrastructure and the digital training of teachers in training stand out. Pedagogical challenges are associated with the effective integration of AI tools into teaching strategies, as well as the redefinition of the teacher’s role in a technology-mediated setting. Finally, ethical challenges include concerns about data privacy, algorithm transparency, and the risks of dehumanization of the educational process. It is concluded that teacher training should incorporate a critical and interdisciplinary approach to AI, promoting technical, pedagogical, and ethical skills that enable future educators to act responsibly and conscientiously in an increasingly digital and automated educational setting.
- Senior Info-Exclusion 4.0—Emerging Digital Technologies and the Technological SingularityPublication . Gil, Henrique; Patrício, Maria RaquelThe elderly population will continue to comprise the largest group of the info-excluded, nationally and worldwide. With the evolution and appearance of increasingly emerging digital technologies, the possibility of increasing the digital divide among the elderly population could become a much more worrying reality. The Internet of Things, augmented reality, mixed reality and artificial intelligence, especially the new versions of GPT Chat, among others, are bringing new challenges and the need to acquire new digital skills. There is an increasing feeling that the so-called technological singularity will be reached very soon. If systems and entities become more intelligent, they could benefit the most info-excluded citizens because the system will be autonomous in its decision-making, where technology will/can override humans. However, it is important that citizens have the ability and possibility to decide which solutions and proposals they feel are best suited to their quality of life in a future where environments will be more assistive under the more refined concept of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). In this sense, there is an urgent need to discuss and present proposals so that today’s info-excluded can prepare for a society that will continue to be predominantly digital but will have new contexts, resources, and organisations. In this sense, the safe use of the Internet and safeguarding autonomy and independence with dignity and security will be the objectives of exercising full citizenship within a new digital ecosystem.
