Cristian Olivé warns AI is making learning 'lethal' after years of championing classroom tech

Cristian Olivé, a Barcelona secondary school teacher at Institut Joan Pelegrí and author of 'Profes rebeldes' (Grijalbo), has reversed his long-standing advocacy for digital tools in education. After 14 years of enthusiastically integrating Netflix series, Rosalía songs, and other youth interests into his Language and Literature classes, Olivé now warns that artificial intelligence is undermining both teaching and assessment. He previously defended the use of screens for educational purposes but now prefers to set aside computers and mobile phones. Olivé describes AI as leaving learning in a 'lethal situation.' The shift marks a significant change for a teacher known for his rebel-professor approach.
