The Promise and Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Education

The Promise and Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Education | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

AI is arguably the number one driving technological force of the first half of this century, and will transform virtually every industry, if not human endeavors at large,” said Charles Fadel.

 

Fadel is the founder of the Center for Curriculum Redesign and has a new book on Artificial Intelligence in Education. He wrote it with his research manager Maya Bialik and Dr. Wayne Holmes, Open University.

 

“We have tried addressing the impact of AI on both the What and the How of education,” said Fadel.

Online learning has traditionally been a rather slow in design and production. We can now use AI in WildFire to create content quickly, to produce agile learning and data that allows us to adapt to new circumstances. I may have used the word 'Agile' too often here but it captures, in a word, what is now necessary.

You have probably never heard of GPT-2 but it is a breakthrough in AI that has astonishing implications for us all, especially in learning. GPT-2 is an AI model that can predict the next word from a given piece of text. Doesn't sound like much but it's odd that an OpenAI, an open-source site, would close access to their software. In practice, this means it is a powerful model for:

Are 'chatbots' a gamechanger in learning? 10 reasons and some warnings! | Donald Clark Plan B

Are 'chatbots' a gamechanger in learning? 10 reasons and some warnings! | Donald Clark Plan B | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

This was the debate motion at the LPI conference in London. I was FOR the motion (Henry Stewart was AGAINST) and let me explain... 

1. AI is a gamechanger

AI will change the very nature of work. It may even change what it is to be human. This is a technological revolution as big as the internet and will therefore change what we learn, why we learn and how we learn. The Top Seven companies by market cap all have AI as a core strategy: Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Tencent, Facebook and Alibaba.
