Resilience in challenging timesFor several decades the today so-called artificial intelligence, AI, was used in scientific and technology research helping scientists in their painstaking work of unveiling and explaining the "mysteries" of our world, contributing to the development of our society and to a better life.Science technology and engineering greatly benefited from tools like neural networks or fuzzy logic for instance.Recently AI appears in front of our eyes with an extraordinary somewhat unexpected impact.However, now not only, or specially, for research and development purposes, but in a wide range of aspects of our everyday life.Often not to help investigators researchers and scholars to establish new knowledge, but simply to summate or reproduce, in a variety of ways, already published knowledge (certified or assessed and accepted, or not, unfortunately, being just published without filter or validation as it happens with the overwhelming amount of fake news or facts that are created everyday at alarming rates to serve dubious or twisted interests or purposes).The amount of information, reproduced or created, that is readily available effortlessly to everybody is amazing.That looks good and probably is, most of the time.However, is that information or knowledge curated or validated?if it is validated… by whom… or what? and specially, is the "reader"/user ready to critically analyze the information, data or knowledge received and either accept and consider it or else doubt it discuss it or even refuse it trying different sources and a sound validation?There is no problem, on the contrary…, on having huge amounts of information, or to have "all" answers, readily available whenever needed, even if behind this profusion of AI providers there is "only" (or mostly…) greed and economic interest.The problem is to be trained to cope with it.And that's one of the major challenges the school and educators are having today.That's a huge task on these days of war conflict and utter disrespect of human' and peoples' rights, with raising self-centered autocracies undermining the role of dialog and disrespecting the concert of nations.Resilience is needed to all of us.The school already proved to be able to have it and raise to today' challenging circumstances.The learning of science demands and induces critical spirit and reasoning, as well as handson methodic commitment of the students themselves, at the center of the learning process.Once more Science Education should be at the core of the school curriculum and practice not only by the knowledge but specially for the critical competencies it helps developing.
