Will AI replace Computer Science Teachers?

Why this score

AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are already automating the tasks CS teachers spend significant time on: writing introductory programming exercises, generating code explanations, and grading student assignments against rubrics. Lecture delivery for foundational topics—data structures, sorting algorithms, introductory Python—is increasingly replaceable by adaptive AI tutoring platforms. However, accreditation requirements, institutional hiring norms, and the need for human accountability in student assessment provide real structural protection that slows displacement. The question is not whether you'll be replaced outright, but whether your department will need six faculty members or four when AI handles the routine instruction.
