Humans need to excel at things AI can’t do – and that means more creativity and critical thinking and less memorisation, says academic Rose Luckin
Tony Parkin's insight:
Rose puts folk straight: "A tool like ChatGPT has no understanding or knowledge. It merely collates bits of words together based on statistical probabilities to produce useful texts. It is an incredibly helpful assistant. But it is not knowledgable, or wise."

This article explores the potential of AI to bring positive changes in education, with the perspective that such disruption is not necessarily detrimental. The interesting thing that they say is that ChatGPT does not have the value or unique human intelligence. Furthermore, it emphasizes that tolls like ChatGPT do not possess a true understanding of knowledge. The article says that human intelligence remains far more impressive that AI and far more intelligence.

With rise of AI-written essays, maybe the time has come to go back to the future, forget the written essay, and return to an oral tradition, where dialogue and debate become the main way that students can demonstrate their grasp and understanding?

We’re rolling out custom instructions to give you more control over how ChatGPT responds. Set your preferences, and ChatGPT will keep them in mind for all future conversations.
Tony Parkin's insight:
"ChatGPT will consider your custom instructions for every conversation going forward. The model will consider the instructions every time it responds, so you won’t have to repeat your preferences or information in every conversation. For example, a teacher crafting a lesson plan no longer has to repeat that they're teaching 3rd grade science."

Hybrid writing, co-created by human and artificial intelligence together is becoming prevalent. Soon it will be the norm. Trying to determine where the human ends and where the artificial intelligence begins is pointless and futile. Via Nik Peachey

Today, Microsoft is announcing its support for new voluntary commitments crafted by the Biden-Harris administration to help ensure that advanced AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy, by endorsing all of the voluntary commitments presented by President Biden and independently committing to several others that support these critical goals.
Tony Parkin's insight:
Microsoft joins other industry leaders in trying to reassure us all that the AI developments are safe, secure and trustworthy. But do we trust the industry to regulate itself?

Hint: Organizations are already using a range of AI tools, with ChatGPT and Jasper.ai leading the way.
Tony Parkin's insight:
Organisations, including education establishments, are finding themselves lacking visibility into what AI tools are in use, how they are used, who has access, and what data is being shared.

Chegg, the US-based student-centred learning platform, had launched a new solution, the nicely punning Cheggmate, which is powered by AI like so many new educational tools. Here is what ChatGPT has to say about this new tool
Tony Parkin's insight:
I thought it might be fun to ask ChatGPT for reasons that students might want to subscribe to the new service – or more probably persuade their parents to do so. Obviously this involved asking it for an article featuringthe type of marketing sell that would hook students into paying up for such a service.

Educators are encouraged to understand AI’s capabilities and limitations before fully integrating it into their teaching. Concerns about cheating and the rapid pace of AI development are prevalent. Experts recommend using AI for tasks like drafting outlines and aiding with lesson planning while maintaining academic integrity. Overall, the emphasis is on training and careful exploration to harness AI’s benefits responsibly without rushing into widespread adoption.

"The researchers found that, on average, instructors who reviewed their feedback subsequently increased their use of uptake and questioning, with the most significant changes taking place in the third week of the course. Student learning and satisfaction with the course also increased among those whose instructors received feedback, compared with the control group."
