Introduction
The use of AI genetic engineering has for the most part been regarded as positive. But the recent advancements and use of gene modification has raised further questions in regards to the ethical dillemas that scientists are faced with and the obvious disregard certain scientists have for said dillemas only further show the dangers of AI and genetic engineering. Due to this and the possible consequenses that society might have to deal with as a result of certain experiments, i believe that unless proper measures are taken to restrict the current and future problems with AI, the future will be a bleak one where the ending very well could be the abolishment of the human race.

In the articel, Nationwide real-world implementation of AI for cancer detection in population-based mammography screening, discusses a study in Germany where AI was used to help detect breast cancer in mammograms. Over 460,000 womens was screened, and the AI system helped find more cancers than traditional methods. The AI had a high detection rate, making the process more efficient. This study shows that AI can improve cancer detection. From this point of view, AI is a promising tool for improving healthcare and helping doctors find cancer earlier.
But a 2018 paper published in the Journal of Zhejiang University by Jing-ru Li, Simon Walker, Jing-bao NIE and Xin,qing Zhang, found the controversial "gene-edited baby experiment" conducted by Chinese scientist Jian-kui He, to be a prime example of how blatant disregard for ethical norms and the lackluster regulation and laws related to genetic engineering and bioetchial in particular has resulted in what can be considered a scary, unfamiliar and schocking situation. In the paper they showcased the response of the scientific community, which varied, for example according to the paper Chinese scientists stated that they considered HE's experiments to be "crazy", and "a huge blow to the global reputation and development of Chinese science". The Dean of Harvard Medical School however while still critical considered the experiments to be "a wrong turn on the right path." and stated that its time to start planning for a correct way to approach clinical translation, portraying that more and in particular better regulations are needed.
IIn the same paper from 2018 they also showcased the ethical problems, as well as the laws and regulation that were broken during HE's experiments. Imagine now when we use AI, which is also unethical.
The biggest problem with HE's experiments were the fact that
Summary and Conclusion
In conclusion the importance of proper regulation can not be understated, in order to make sure that we won't have a future where incidents where AI is used together with such as HE's "gene-edited baby experiment" or possibly even worse experiments take place on a regular basis, we need to implement stricter and better regulations. The future of AI and genetic engineering can either be a positive one or it could lead to our downfall it all depends on how we use it, however as things stand today we are drawing increasingly closer to the destruction of the human race.

Education plays an essential role. It provides stability in life, as well as it's something no one can take away from an individual. A college degree increases your chances for better career opportunities and opens new doors for you as a result of having a well-educated and knowledgeable background. Education is crucial for maintaining a secure future. Teachers are the strength and guidance in a student's life. They pass on values to children in order to prepare them for further education and therefore are the primary contributors to education in society. Students are deeply affected by the teacher's character, affection, expertise as well as moral commitment. If we were to supersede human teachers with machines it could lead to a whole different outlook on our education systems development. In my opinion, this situation won't be able to occur as long as human teachers exist, considering the fact that we can't fully trust robots and AI due to their potential risks of harming us.
Authors, Joaquin Sitte and Petra Winzer (2004) argue that having a robot share the same physical environment as a student raises safety concerns. In contrast to a virtual avatar, they can physically harm a child or do physical damage to the educational setting, thus proving the correctness of my prediction. Due to its tangible benefits, crucial promises have been made regarding this technology having a major impact and revolutionizing our lives. However, everything mechanical has no guarantee of non-breakage. Hence, the robot being mechanically designed can break down at any time, therefore, causing disruption in learning. An AI that has malfunctioned can only be repaired by experts, but before that it can share falsehoods or misinformation while sounding like an authoritative adult. Furthermore, repairing a broken robot could take days or weeks. Therefore, a significant amount of time would be lost waiting for the robot to return to its shape or AI functionality. Due to that, they could evolve into a potential threat if a virus were to invade their system and start controlling them. This depicts how robots and AI lead to a considerable number of risks that would harm the students.
Moreover, Friedman and Kahn (2008) emphasize the concept of deception and the production of a compelling illusion raises several fundamental questions about the emotional relationships that children may or may not form with robots and AI. There are certain dangers associated with convincingly portraying machines as a real-life human teacher. Machines aren't able to form a genuine human connection, while this means that they aren't functioned to discriminate, it also means that robots are unable to form an emotional attachment like humans. Students would be at risk for not recognizing actual human emotions, being fooled by seemingly human behaviour as the robot or AI acts in a human way despite not truly understanding it.
My prediction is confirmed by the different sources. As advanced technology robots and AI can become a potential threat. As Sitte and Winzer imply, robots and AI contribute to a high risk of causing harm in a student's environment, which is relevant to my prediction of the potential risks with teaching machines. They are programmed a certain way, but as the unique innovation they are, they could be targeted by a virus with the intention of harming the students. They would be traumatized by such an event which would lead to them losing trust in machine teachers. This situation would never occur with human teachers. Furthermore, Friedman and Kahn argue that the differences between humans and machines are too evident. While robots and AI have no sense of race or gender differences which could have an impact on how they deliver information, at the same time they are unable to form a human bond. It could affect students views and understanding of how relationships work. Thinking you have a relationship with an AI could be similar to having a relationship with a psychopath, any kind and empathetic feelings that you have for the machine would not be reciprocated.
In conclusion, a teacher is supposed to serve as strength as well as guidance in a student's life. Students are heavily affected by the teacher's character, affection, competence and moral values. These are things that a robot or AI are unable to fulfill which are crucial factors in successful education. My predicition that robot-led education can never supersede human teachers is correct, due to humans not being in need of technological functions in order to serve as a form of an upgraded creature. Therefore, human teachers will be staying in the future as long as they exist, they can't be replaced.
