Abstract

This essay critically examines the limits and possibilities of teaching in the age of artificial intelligence based on the concerns that automation generates among university educators. It dismantles the “illusion of substitution” by demonstrating that teaching it is not the transmission of information, but interpretation, accompaniment and formation. Moreover, it explores what AI cannot replicate (judgment, sensibility, ethics and human bond) and analyzes the fragility of digital knowledge, marked by deceptive fluidity and algorithmic opacity. It also proposes guidelines for an ethical coexistence between AI and teaching, concluding that teaching remains a profoundly human act and, today more than ever, a form of resistance to the uncritical automation of educational work.
