The application of Artificial Intelligence in education is being experimented with. One of the main application strands is personalized teaching: the user is entrusted to a conversational system with which he or she interacts individually. The effectiveness of this approach is plausible in various forms of individual training, but it poses several problems in the school context, where the teacher cannot simultaneously control what happens to 20 students following personalized paths. Moreover, the psychological risks of abandoning a student to an automated system, isolated from the classroom, are all to be discovered. Moreover, the psychological damage in the developmental age related to the use of smartphones, typical personalized devices, is now well established, so this approach that isolates the student and entrusts him or her to automated systems is to be distrusted.
