Abstract

In education, artificial intelligence presents a current challenge as well as a glimpse into the future. The opinions of Győr secondary school teachers and students on AI’s impact on education were the focus of our research. In this regard, we believe that it is necessary for adolescents to acquire and utilize new technologies, as they can explore the best ways to use them in the future, for everyday life or university studies. However, it is also true that this knowledge is needed not only by students but also by teachers. We would answer questions such as should we view AI as a helpful tool or a dangerous threat in education? The responses of 4 high schools reveal that students’ enthusiasm and teachers’ cautious curiosity point to an exciting future. Both groups see new opportunities for learning, but uncertainty about the changes also emerges. Openness to new ideas and continuous learning are key to success, according to comparative analysis. Research shows that AI can become a driver of education if we learn to use it wisely together. Schools of tomorrow are under construction; the key question is: who will define their future?
