This is a decent article summarizing recent research from a variety of sources and discussing how AI will impact a teacher's day-to-day life. The major initial impact seems to be focused around assessment, with AI being used to create rubrics and other tools, as well as playing a role in scoring. Time savings here can be considerable. But the the major potential impact is described under the heading of 'teacher survival' as some report the impact of 80 hour workweeks. AI plays a role not necessarily in reducing this workload, but in changing its nature, allowing teachers to shed paperwork and bureaucratic tasks and to focus on the actual work.
