At the Literature Street Festival, Estonian language teachers discussed the impact of artificial intelligence on literature classes, concluding that assigning creative writing tasks for homework is no longer practical. The discussion centered on the increasing difficulty of verifying the authorship of student work due to the accessibility of AI tools.
The panel featured educators Kirsi Rannaste from Viimsi Gymnasium, Anu Kell from Gustav Adolf Gymnasium and Tallinn Secondary School of Science, and Jürgen Rooste from Tabasalu Gymnasium. The conversation was moderated by Kristi Helme, editor-in-chief of Õpetajate Leht.
Kirsi Rannaste noted that over the past few years, she has frequently questioned the origin of the texts submitted by her students. She stated that teachers are now forced to consider whether a piece of writing was produced by the student, generated by artificial intelligence, or created through a combination of both. Rannaste observed that this challenge has emerged rapidly within the classroom environment.
