Abstract

This chapter explores the evolving role of educators in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)-supported classrooms. As GenAI tools become more increasingly prevalent in educational practices, educators' roles are shifting from being primary knowledge providers to serving as learning advisors, critical evaluators, and mediators between learners and technological resources. This chapter outlines key benefits of GenAI integration, such as personalized learning, enhanced feedback mechanisms, expanded accessibility, and reduced workload. It also addresses significant concerns, including threats to educator authority, learner over-reliance on AI, algorithmic bias, privacy risks, and diminished human connection. To keep up with these transformations effectively, the chapter presents strategies for empowering educators through comprehensive professional development, supportive institutional policies, and human-centered teaching practices. It suggests a balanced approach where AI serves as a supportive tool and educators' essential authority and expertise are preserved.
