Agentic AI Can Complete Whole Courses. Now What?

Agentic AI Can Complete Whole Courses. Now What? | AI in Education #AIinED | Scoop.it
A young tech entrepreneur launched the tool Einstein this week, marketing it as a way to free students from busywork—and triggering robust faculty debate. Einstein’s creator says that was the whole point. After this story was published, Paliwal said he received a cease and desist letter from Instructure, which owns Canvas, and has since taken down Einstein’s website.
Peter Mellow's insight:
Interesting quote and perspective: “The most destructive educational technology we have is the large lecture hall. I would be happy if these technologies forced us to stop putting 400 students in a room,” he said, noting that such a change would be costly for institutions. “But if we’re really committed to teaching and learning, maybe we’re starting to learn that the transactional model isn’t going to work anymore.”

Note: Since this post 'Einstein's' creator has received a cease and desist letter from a LMS company and has closed the site down.

Say Goodbye to Structured Learning ChatGPT in Education, is it a Threat or an Opportunity? - Learning & Technology Library (LearnTechLib) | AI in Education #AIinED | Scoop.it
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.

Why AI Is Incorrigibly Didactic

And that is why the rise of AI writing represents a great opportunity for literature, even as it makes life harder for professional writers. When photography was developed in the 19th century, it replaced painting for most utilitarian purposes; a camera could document what things looked like more accurately and cheaply than a painter could. But the art of painting didn’t die out. On the contrary, it entered a golden age: Freed from the obligation of realism, painters developed radical new ways of seeing, such as Impressionism, Cubism, and abstract expressionism. Now AI has the potential to liberate literature in the same way. In a world full of emptily competent prose, we need writers daring, challenging, and obstinate enough to tell us what it’s like to be human, “from the inside.”
