Analysis of Current AI Resilience
Philosophy & Religion Prof.
Updated Quarterly • Last Update: 2/17/2026
What's changing and what's not
Even college instructors are starting to use AI for routine tasks. For example, researchers built “AttenFace,” a system that uses cameras and face‐recognition to automatically mark students present [1]. A new teaching assistant app called Socrait listens to class and can take attendance and note student participation on its own [2].
Teachers are also using AI to help grade and plan courses. A ChatGPT-based tool named “Writable” now grades student essays for teachers [3]. In fact, one study found that when professors chat with AI, 57% of their questions were about planning courses, while only 7% were about grading [3].
Some universities even use AI to screen applicants: for instance, an AI system at one college reads essays to speed up admissions decisions [4]. These kinds of tools automate the bookkeeping and planning so teachers can focus more on teaching.
At the same time, many key teacher tasks still need a human touch. Picking textbooks, leading discussions, or serving on committees are jobs that AI can’t do. There aren’t AI robots in faculty meetings yet!
Educators point out that grading philosophy or religion essays really needs human judgment. Some teachers worry AI could cause more cheating or mistakes [3] [2]. One instructor notes that computer-written essays often feel “formulaic” and sometimes wrong [2].
In short, AI can help with busywork like notes and scores, but the creative, ethical, and personal parts of teaching our biggest questions and mentoring students are still done by people [3] [2].

AI in the real world
AI tools are easy to try but schools have to decide how to use them. Free tools like ChatGPT are widely available, so teachers around the world can play with them. In fact, many schools have started encouraging ChatGPT for things like grading and lesson ideas [3].
Specialized systems (like the Socrait assistant) exist too, but they cost money to buy and set up. Colleges compare that cost to hiring help: if an AI can do routine work, it might save money over time by freeing teachers to teach more.
Whether AI is used quickly or slowly also depends on trust and rules. Some educators worry about fairness and cheating [3]. Early on, some districts blocked chatbots because of plagiarism fears, though others now allow and even train teachers to use AI [3] [3].
In fields like philosophy and religion, many people feel the human side is important. As one teacher put it, AI can be helpful, but it won’t replace a real person’s care and insight. Over time, schools may adopt AI for grading and planning more—since it can save work—but basically, AI is seen as a tool.
The human skills of discussion, empathy and critical thinking in philosophy classes remain valuable and irreplaceable by machines [2] [3].
