Will AI replace Social Work Teachers?

Why this score

AI tools are beginning to automate parts of your work as a social work teacher — specifically grading written assignments, generating case study simulations, and assembling course materials from existing literature. However, the core of what you do — mentoring students through ethically complex field placement decisions, modeling clinical judgment in classroom discussions, and supervising practicum experiences — remains deeply resistant to automation because of regulatory requirements and the irreducibly human nature of social work education. Your position is stronger than most in higher education, but the question is whether you will use this window to become the faculty member who defines how AI is integrated into social work training, or the one who watches someone else set those standards.
