Enrique Dans's Medium article argues against banning AI in education, drawing parallels to past failed attempts to prohibit beneficial technologies like smartphones and the printing press. 

Dans emphasizes the importance of integrating AI into the curriculum through education and supervision, rather than resorting to ineffective bans. He highlights the risk of creating a generation ill-equipped to use AI responsibly and suggests that AI, like calculators, should be a tool for learning, not a replacement for it. 

The article references studies showing the potential negative impact of unsupervised AI use on critical thinking skills, particularly among younger students. Finally, Dans advocates for a proactive approach to integrating AI responsibly into education, preventing the repetition of past mistakes.
