Education 2.0 & 3.0

"ChatGPT Edu, emerging after initial partnerships with several universities, is prompting both cautious optimism and worries."

"OpenAI’s chatbots scored a big new data source following the company’s deal with News Corp. in May. With the stroke of a pen, ChatGPT and the company’s other services added the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, MarketWatch, Barron’s, and other publications to its database."

"In addition to pushing for generative AI’s embrace, Boston University’s task force also made several other recommendations, including that instructors should be free to define policies that are 'suited to the learning goals of their courses.' It says the university should also require that every instructor include an AI policy on each course syllabus."

"ChatGPT’s newest version, GPT-4o, aims to converse aloud in a more human way, leading educators to consider new applications for teaching and learning."

"This article highlights how generative AI can revolutionize education by personalizing learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and creating dynamic content."

"[I]t includes powerful features like real-time video processing, a key feature that could finally allow the creation of powerful virtual assistants that support our daily life in real time."

"Let’s take a look at how AI will facilitate the work of the instructional designers, researchers, administrators and other nonteaching professionals in colleges and universities this fall."

"It’s possible to maintain academic rigor and revise assessments in response to generative AI"

"When AI is carefully adapted for the classroom, it has enormous potential."

Having more resources for students to use to find success in mathematics is a fantastic step towards better student outcomes.

"What can organizations do to ensure they are making the right investments in AI-based technologies to achieve measurable business outcomes?"

"People see more of their biases in algorithms because the algorithms remove people’s bias blind spots."

"Since 2023 the attention of much of the tech world and corporate aspiration has been around artificial intelligence (AI). However, that is only one of the important strategic priorities for organizations in the next five-to-seven years."

"Through careful planning and inclusion of teachers, administration, and community representatives it is possible to thoughtfully address this need and develop structures for appropriately delivering instruction that incorporates AI platforms. "

"At its core, GenAI generates probabilistic outputs based on patterns in training data, lacking true understanding and the ability to make qualitative judgments. This leads to inconsistency and bias in grading, raising serious concerns about fairness and reliability."

"According to the World Economic Forum, 23% of positions will be added or eliminated as a result of technology changes, including AI adoption, in the coming five years."

"The goal of the collaboration is to empower the university's working adult and remote students to build critical communication skills."

"With schools struggling to help students recover from pandemic-related learning loss, artificial intelligence tutoring platforms have emerged as a possible solution — despite the many issues they present. Across the country, several schools are already making AI tutoring a reality."

"What will tomorrow bring for AI in learning? Let's look at how you can tap into the power of Artificial Intelligence to enhance immersion and L&D personalization."

"About a third of high school teachers (35%) say these tools do more harm than good. Roughly a quarter of middle school teachers (24%) and 19% of elementary school teachers say the same."

"AI tools are powerful supports for student success–but must be harnessed responsibly"

"In addition to the use of AI in education, schools must pay attention to several big tech challenges."

"GPT4o is better than GPT4 and hammers other models. It is also faster and smarter across text, vision and audio, truly multimodal."

"The move is part of an overall effort by those in the technology industry to provide more safeguards for AI usage."

"We're inundated with messages about how to automate, boost efficiency, and streamline processes—often by using emerging tools powered by AI (artificial intelligence). In these days of shrinking budgets and headcounts, as more employees need re- and upskilling, efficiency is indeed prized."

"As with all innovations, there will be trade-offs. Each time we trade an interaction with AI for a speedy response, we trade-off something else with it. We lose the opportunity to connect with another person."
