Abstract
This article explores the implications of generative AI in education, particularly focusing on pedagogical challenges and adaptations. Drawing parallels with the aviation industry’s evolution through computerization, the author, Fabrice Cavarretta, argues that simply banning AI in educational settings is neither feasible nor desirable. Instead, he proposes a “dual mode pedagogy” approach where education should distinguish between unassisted skills (without AI) and AI-assisted skills, similar to how pilots learn to fly both with and without computer assistance.
The article emphasizes that the primary concern isn’t just preventing AI-enabled cheating, but rather preparing students for a future where AI is integral to their professional lives. This is particularly relevant in management education, where traditional skills like business planning and analysis may become partially automated by AI tools. The author concludes that educational institutions must adapt their pedagogical approaches to ensure graduates remain competitive in a market where AI capabilities increasingly overlap with traditional professional skills.
