Will AI replace teachers? | Brian Curd | TEDxHuili Shanghai Youth

When pandemic learning turned his students into silent screen zombies, teacher Brian Curd tried a cheesy fix: compliments. Eye rolls at first—then magic. Genuine bonds returned. Now, as AI reshapes education, he argues great teachers must become "friendship facilitators." Because screens can’t replace what really prepares kids for life: human connection. Brian Curd is an experienced educator and the current Assistant Head of Teaching and Learning at Hiba Academy Shanghai. With a background in both academic and pastoral leadership, Brian is a firm believer in the transformative power of teaching—not only to support student achievement but also to nurture student wellbeing and help young people move from merely surviving to truly thriving. In his talk, “Will AI replace teachers: Not if we acknowledge what students really need”, Brian takes an unexpected approach. If you are looking for a talk about technology and AI tips, you’ve come to the wrong place. Rather, he invites the audience to reflect more deeply on the purpose of education, the implications of artificial intelligence, and the enduring role of teachers in guiding students toward happiness and fulfilment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
