Recently I’ve found that using an interactive AI prompt to guide this process can be really beneficial as it helps to focus on each stage of the process as you work through it, and it can then provide a summary and help you draw conclusions about how and what you can do to help the subject or the empathy map. In this way, it takes us through understanding the person to finding practical ways we can help them.

If AI allows students to automate routine cognitive tasks – like information retrieval or ensuring that verb tenses are consistent – it doesn’t mean they’re thinking less. It means their thinking is changing.

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in education has been met with both excitement and concern. According to a 2023 survey by the World Economic Forum, over 60% of educators in advanced economies are now using some form of artificial intelligence (AI) in their classrooms, a significant increase from just 20% 5 years ago

Abstract: Edited by Nik Peachey, this book looks at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in teacher training through the shared experiences of a global Community of Practice (CoP). Since 2019, the British Council has supported CoPs among teacher educators, both online and face-to-face, to improve professional development.

"In our recent study, we cooperated with Synthesia, a leading AI video platform. We ran a memory experiment and affective survey with around 500 people to see how four teaching formats differed. In addition to the AI-generated synthetic video versus human instructor-created video, the text was also included, composed by a human instructor and framed as AI generation separately."

As educators, we’re constantly bombarded with new technologies promising to revolutionise our classrooms. Artificial Intelligence has certainly generated its share of both excitement and skepticism (and let’s be honest, a fair bit of eye-rolling too). However, beyond the debates and theoretical discussions, there are practical, immediate applications that can genuinely enhance our teaching practice today.

At Stanford HAI, we believe AI is poised to be the most transformative technology of the 21st century. But its benefits won’t be evenly distributed unless we guide its development thoughtfully. The AI Index offers one of the most comprehensive, data-driven views of artificial intelligence. Recognized as a trusted resource by global media, governments, and leading companies, the AI Index equips policymakers, business leaders, and the public with rigorous, objective insights into AI’s technical progress, economic influence, and societal impact.

Release date April 2, 2025 – A majority of global technology experts say the likely magnitude of change in humans’ native capacities and behaviors as they adapt to artificial intelligence (AI) will be “deep and meaningful,” or even “fundamental and revolutionary” over the next decade. This new report covers the results from the Imagining the Digital Future Center’s 18th “Future of Digital Life” canvassing of a large set of global technology experts. These experts wrote detailed accounts predicting the future of humans in 2035.

Through a qualitative case study at a Zimbabwean university and a robust literature review, we gained deep insights into this complex phenomenon.

It is certainly appealing to think that GenAI might save teachers time and reduce their mental burden. There are moments in every teacher’s day when they might not be feeling particularly inspired, imaginative or full of energy. At first glance, outsourcing tasks to GenAI makes good sense. However, if we look back to the history of technology then there are good reasons to be not quite so optimistic.

As educators, learners, and leaders engage with AI, they must navigate both the technical aspects of AI tools and the ethical, cultural, and social implications of their use. AI literacies enable individuals to make informed decisions, adapt AI tools to different contexts, and ensure that applications of AI in academic settings are ethical and inclusive. The Dimensions of AI Literacies (presented below) offer a flexible and transformative lens for understanding teaching and learning practices in an AI-enabled world. Via Edumorfosis
