In a recent study, "Accelerating AI Skills: Preparing the Workforce for Jobs of the Future," 73% of employers said they consider AI skills a hiring priority, while 75% can't find trained talent to fill those jobs.
With the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Generative AI that can generate new and unique content, rather than analyzing and acting on existing data, this has resulted in the release of OpenAI in 2015. A new innovative tool has recently emerged, it is named, ChatGPT and it has taken the world by storm. In just five days after its release, ChatGPT attracted over a million users globally and has rapidly gained popularity in all fields, especially in education. This new technology is again stirring up the AI versus education debate, some see it as a threat to the curren
We still assess students based predominantly on written, terminal assessments that focus on narrow ranges of knowledge and an even narrower skills base. We get kids to memorize a formula and regurgitate ‘good’ answers into it. And I’m not talking about mathematical formula – a distressing amount of my teaching has been about how to structure exam responses. Not construct an effective argument or order your thoughts – no, just get an answer to a specific question type in the format that best matches the aims of the exam board. Students aren’t learning anything useful here; they’re just brute-forcing results using the quickest and most direct method.
Lo que verdaderamente transformará la Educación son las personas que se atrevan a hacer cosas nuevas y diferentes. No necesariamente tienen que ser trabajando dentro del sistema ni en las salas de clase. Muchos estamos afuera haciendo proyectos de desarrollo cognitivo mucho más dinámicos y cambiantes. La sociedad quiere aprender a hacer para transformar, no a memorizar para aprobar. Los estándares deben estar en movimiento constante; no impresos en papel esperando que alguien los ejecute...
I think this article pointed out something very important, and that is that the education system focused on testing all students with the same exam despite their differences, and it's not really a good way to grasp an individuals knowledge. AI can take these tests given to the students and pass with ease, proving that they are not complex, personalized exams, and thus raises the question of should we be testing all students with the same state exams to determine their intelligence? I do not think so.
As educators and students grapple with what is allowed when using generative AI (GenAI) tools, I have compiled five tips to help you design or redesign academic integrity statements for your syllabus, assignments, exams, and course activities.
Detailed suggestions on rules for student AI use. (All text was originally written by the author, but some of the text was revised based on suggestions from Gemini and ChatGPT 3.5. �
Setting clear boundaries using the three W's mentioned in this article is a great way to explain to students when AI usage is allowed. I agree that it should not be allowed for all assignments or activities and that students should not directly copy and paste information from the AI tool they're using, even if they plan to cite it.
There are many use cases for generative AI, spanning a vast number of areas of domestic and work life. Looking through thousands of comments on sites such as Reddit and Quora, the author’s team found that the use of this technology is as wide-ranging as the problems we encounter in our lives. The 100 categories they identified can be divided into six top-level themes, which give an immediate sense of what generative AI is being used for: Technical Assistance & Troubleshooting (23%), Content Creation & Editing (22%), Personal & Professional Support (17%), Learning & Education (15%), Creativity & Recreation (13%), Research, Analysis & Decision Making (10%).
I think using AI tools for generating ideas or editing texts is ok to do, both in our regular life and in education. As long as the individuals are not letting the AI tool do their work for them, then utilizing a tool that can simply enhance their learning and work seems like fair assistance.
As AI becomes more powerful, it faces a major trust problem. Consider 12 leading concerns: disinformation, safety and security, the black box problem, ethical concerns, bias, instability, hallucinations in LLMs, unknown unknowns, potential job losses and social inequalities, environmental impact, industry concentration, and state overreach. Each of these issues is complex — and not easy to solve. But there is one consistent approach to addressing the trust gap: training, empowering, and including humans to manage AI tools.
AI tools are clearly becoming a huge part of our society, so educators should get at the forefront of it and set clear instructions and boundaries on the utilization of AI in their classrooms. It is known many students are going to use it anyways, so best to let them know beforehand what is allowed and what isn't.
There’s no escaping generative AI as it infiltrates our workplaces and daily lives. Learning what these tools can do will help you understand their full impact.
In Cengage's annual digital learning pulse survey, roughly 95% of two- and four-year higher education administrators, faculty, and trustees responded that they expect generative AI tools to change their institution over the next five years.
This AI performs better than earlier models like GPT-4, especially in medical benchmarks.
It scores an impressive 91.1% on the MedQA-USMLE test and outperforms GPT-4 by 44.5% on various tests.
Med-Gemini excels in summarizing medical information, writing doctor referrals, and simplifying medical documents.
It's now favored over human experts for complex medical text analysis. This advancement shows significant promise for enhancing medical diagnostics and patient care, marking a major step in AI for healthcare.
At Princeton High School, students are trying to combat the rapid decline of indigenous languages with some unlikely help: a furry, wide-eyed stuffed animal named Che’w.
A series of short conversations with guests with different kinds of expertise in generative AI and education, broadly conceived. Each chat is structured around 3 key messages or questions that the guest wants to put across to the educational community. More coming soon.
Academic integrity as the acute problem It goes without saying now that the rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into our lives poses significant challenges for academic integrity. The urgency of these challenges cannot be understated, as they directly impact the fairness and v
Online education company Udacity has announced a new course, "Discovering Ethical AI" in response to recent federal guidelines for guardrails for the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence, according to a company blog post.
Generative AI and CustomGPTs will change higher education. The roles of professors and students will change as GenAI and CustomGPTs contribute to the learning process.
