evidence: These authors, who try to stay at the cutting edge of technology use, observe forward pathways for reflective practice, already established in the literature on MR, being blended with and further enhanced through the rapid development of AI tools. The team notes AI is not without use in most existing MR simulations as Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) already exists in automated facial gestures and interactive statements (canned laugh and talking during a think-pair-share activity). These behaviors are programmed into the system and can be triggered by an interactor or even simple scene processing. Moving from this simple narrow AI (narrow range of abilities) to more Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which reflects human behavior, is the next step to consider as the future of mixed reality in simulation and teacher education begins to integrate AI into preparation and practice [ 36]. So, what is the future of AI and other emerging technologies in teacher preparation and how do they align with existing research and outcomes in preparing teachers in using technology?
