AI and Education. Opportunity or oxymoron?
Abstract:
AI has the potential to affect all aspects of Education fundamentally undermining our cognitive development and motivation to learn. On the other hand AI can be seen as a democratiser, in terms of access to knowledge and ability to interact with highly trained virtual agents in constrained domains. This talk explores some of the implications of the increasingly ubiquitous AI services that are rapidly permeating our education and research environments. What should universities do? What are our responsibilities in this emerging landscape of AI influenced systems and processes?
