Romanian teachers have started using artificial intelligence-based applications in classes. How did the students react
Teachers have begun using artificial intelligence-based applications in classes. They teach students how these tools can help them, as well as the pitfalls they may hide.
They need to carefully check the content generated by artificial intelligence. On the other hand, a study by a professional association shows that only half of Romanian teachers have heard of artificial intelligence, and 10% of them trust that they can use it in lessons.

However, many teachers are hesitant about these digital tools. According to a study conducted by the Techsoup Association among 2,000 teachers in Romania, only 20% of teachers can precisely define what artificial intelligence means, and 10% would use it in educational activities.
