EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING WITH AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) TECHNOLOGY AT SMP 1 GONDANG

Abstract

The use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in teaching and learning has brought significant changes to the world of education. While it is recognized that AI provides innovative solutions and opens up opportunities for a more personalized and adaptive approach to learning, there are pros and cons regarding its impact. Concerns regarding the potential reinforcement of bias and discrimination, negative responses from students and teachers, and over-reliance on AI are concerns. The community service activity by Bhineka PGRI University Tulungagung at SMP 1 Gondang aims to provide solutions to the lack of materials on the use of AI in education. The training methods used include lectures, tutorials, discussions, mentoring, and assessments. The results of this activity show an increase in the teachers' understanding of AI. This activity provides insight into the importance of integrating AI technology with learning approaches that maintain the essence of education and focus on ethics and student behavior. Recommendations are directed towards developing further collaboration and implementing similar activities on a regular basis to improve teacher professionalism.
