Ethical Artificial Intelligence: Proactive Districts, Better Teaching and Stronger Students

Ethical Artificial Intelligence: Proactive Districts, Better Teaching and Stronger Students | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From edu-ai.org - June 20, 3:00 PM

"Schools must ensure that students are prepared to confront the ethical dilemmas that Artificial Intelligence (AI), like all new technologies, will inevitably present. Humans have created AI and are learning from it. Consequently, AI will have flaws that require skillful interaction to uphold the basic tenets of right and wrong."

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From edu-ai.org - June 20, 1:00 PM

"What are the assumptions about learning embodied in the algorithms? When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher asked our class to read Hamlet and to write an essay on the line, 'There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.' Not surprisingly, given that he was the school’s minister, he believed this line was the “most significant” in the play. Unfortunately, its significance—how, in my teacher’s words, it was “central to making sense of the play”—was lost on me. I wrote a wretched essay, most of which made no sense to me or him."
