Hello everyone, welcome to this weekโs Discussion thread!
This week, weโre focusing on using AI in Education. AI has been making waves in classrooms and learning platforms around the globe and weโre interested in exploring its potential, its shortcomings, and its ethical implications.
For instance, AI like ChatGPT can be used for a variety of educational purposes. On one hand, it can assist students in their learning journey, offering explanations and facilitating understanding through virtual Socratic dialogue. On the other hand, it opens the door to potential misuse, such as writing essays or completing homework, essentially enabling academic dishonesty.
Khan Academy, a renowned learning platform, has also leveraged AI technology, creating a custom chatbot to guide students when theyโre stuck. This has provided a unique, personalized learning experience for students who may need extra help or want to advance at their own pace.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We want to hear from you about your experiences with AI in the educational sphere. Have you found an interesting use case for AI in learning? Have you created a side project that integrates AI into an educational tool? What does the future hold for AI in education, in your view?
Looking forward to your contributions!
