Bahrain’s schools are going the AI way
AI is harming the environment. It uses large amounts of electricity to run data centres and train models, which increases carbon emissions, especially when the energy comes from fossil fuels. AI systems also require water for cooling and rely on hardware that is produced through mining, which can damage ecosystems and create pollution. Because of this, some people believe AI is adding more pressure on the planet’s resources.
On the other side, supporters argue that AI can help reduce environmental damage. It can improve efficiency in industries, support renewable energy systems, and help monitor environmental changes like deforestation and pollution. AI can also assist in farming by reducing waste of water and chemicals.
In conclusion, AI has both benefits and drawbacks for the environment. However, there are still concerns about its growing energy use and environmental cost, which means its impact is not entirely positive.

Unfortunately, this is not a real solution for educating children. It raises serious concerns. I strongly believe that before making such decisions, it is essential to consult the wider community – especially parents and educators – to understand their perspectives.
As we can already see from the comments, even within a small sample, a large proportion comes from children who are increasingly dependent on technology, spending most of their time on smartphones and digital platforms. Education is becoming more and more disconnected from real human interaction. This trend risks creating a generation that lacks essential social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Balance is crucial. Technology can support education, but it must not replace human connection.
I sincerely hope that in Bahrain this matter will be considered very carefully. No machine or AI can replace a real teacher.
And this raises an important question: what will happen to teachers, and what future are we creating for them?

Can you make it for private schools too?
