Abstract

In 1995, the journal "Education and Upbringing” published my paper titled "Genealogical Method in Education and Its Computer Support." I explored the value and importance of creating and studying family trees to learn about the values and cultural heritage of one's nation. One of my more forward-thinking ideas was that, in the future, animated ancestors could interact with their descendants via computer screens.
A recent search in the mentioned JBSE archive reveals 11 publications focusing on AI. As we venture further into the age of digital innovation, it is imperative for the JBSE authors to embrace the potential of AI in educational contexts while remaining vigilant about ethical considerations. The integration of AI-generated images, audio, and videos of historical figures like Linus Pauling can revolutionize our teaching methods, making science more engaging and accessible. Such innovations offer unparalleled opportunities to enrich our curriculum, provided we handle the content with care, preserving the accuracy and context of scientific achievements.
Let us consider how we can collectively navigate the ethical dilemmas and leverage AI to its fullest potential in science education. Let us remain pioneers in this digital age, pushing the boundaries of what's possible while steadfastly upholding the values of truth and authenticity.
