Artifical intelligence is a part of the progress of the digitalization in the society. Language models such as ChatGPT have the ability to answer questions posed by the user as well as to produce texts that resemble human writing. However, the use of language models is not without risk. They can be used as a tool to encourage cheating on school assignments or to contribute to disinformation. A consequence of the development of AI is that knowledge is obtained in different ways compared to the past, which has to come to transform the traditional teaching methods in schools. The purpose of the study is to investigate how AI affects the tuition in social studies and also what experience social studies teachers have of AI in connection with teaching. The study focuses in upper secondary school in Sweden. The empirical material has been collected through semi-structured interviews. The results of the study show that the teachers see both opportunities and challenges with AI in teaching. AI can be used as a resource by both teachers and students according to the teachers participating in this study. However the result shows that AI also can have an negative impact on the students learning process. Regardless, teachers have been forced to make changes in their teaching.
