This episode of Trending in Ed Wisdom Factories: AI, Games, and the Education of a Modern Worker
We discuss how AI can support novice learners, the potential risks and biases within AI systems, and the need for critical thinking skills to successfully interact with AI. Dasey emphasizes the importance of adapting our approach to education with AI as a ubiquitous tool, rethinking how we learn, consume information, and develop traditional skills. We pay our respects to the work of Daniel Kahneman and dig into the nuanced differences between noise, bias, and bullshit and what this means to educators, learners, and all of us.
Key Takeaways
AI presents unique opportunities to support new learners, but may have less impact on experts. Remain aware of potential biases within AI systems. It may not be attributable to ill intent it may be systemic noise and error. Critical thinking and judgment are crucial for working effectively with AI in the future. The ways we learn, read, write, and consume information will continue to evolve alongside AI. Adopt an open-minded and flexible approach to AI as these technologies constantly change. Timestamps
