AI in Education: Why We Need Transformation, Not Just Improvement
This isn’t about making our current education system work slightly better. It’s about fundamentally rethinking what education means in a world where technology has already transformed how we think, learn, and work.
The question isn’t whether to use AI in education. It’s whether we’ll transform our educational systems to prepare students for a world where their value lies not in what they know, but in how they think, connect, adapt, and execute in messy, complex, human contexts.
That’s the transformation we need.

We invite you to explore the IDB’s report on Artificial Intelligence and Education, that examines the role of artificial intelligence through the lens of what we already know from decades of digital education. Across Latin America and the Caribbean, teachers and school leaders are asking the same question: How can we use artificial intelligence to help every student learn better? In this blog we share how 193 real AI initiatives are already transforming teaching, inclusion, and school management, and what it means for the future of education.
Also, discover how teachers across the region are already integrating AI into their classrooms — based on new data from CIMA Note #37, drawn from the international TALIS 2024 survey.
