On December 26, 2025, former university rector Rodolfo Tecchi wrote in El Tribuno de Jujuy about integrating AI into education, welcoming its use for tasks like planning and assessment while warning against deepening digital divides. The piece calls for ethical safeguards, teacher empowerment and new regulations as AI tools spread in schools.

Tecchi’s column distills many of the tensions that will shape how AGI-era tools actually land in classrooms. On one hand, he points out real wins: AI can help with scheduling, individualized tracking and even automating parts of grading, freeing teachers for more human work. On the other, he warns that without guardrails, the same tools can widen existing inequities, normalize intrusive surveillance and undermine teachers’ professional autonomy.
From the vantage point of the AGI race, education is both a proving ground and a pressure valve. If early deployments of AI in schools are seen as exploitative or destabilizing, political backlash could spill over into broader restrictions on advanced systems. Conversely, if countries like Argentina can find a balance—using AI to extend scarce human capacity while respecting privacy and labor norms—they create constituencies that see frontier AI as a public good, not an imposition. That social legitimacy will matter as models become more agentic and embedded in daily life.
