Primary teaching and AI

DS is keen on doing teacher training after his degree with a view to teaching primary age (his regular Saturday job as a teen was coaching/refing under 10s and under 8s football and he really likes this age group).

He's asked me whether I think teachers are all going to be replaced by AI- this seems a constant worry for his friendship group, not unreasonably. My instinct is that teaching, especially younger children, will need a human element for decades to come and maybe forever and that teachers might start making use of AI but won't be replaced by it. But I'm no expert so I'd love to hear from people who know more about it.

I think teachers will use AI more and more. We're only just beginning to explore the possibilities.

But it won't replace having a human being in the classroom.
