The AI Risk Repository: A Comprehensive Meta-Review, Database, and Taxonomy of Risks From Artificial Intelligence

The AI Risk Repository: A Comprehensive Meta-Review, Database, and Taxonomy of Risks From Artificial Intelligence | Learning & Technology News | Scoop.it

The risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are of considerable concern to academics, auditors, policymakers, AI companies, and the public. However, a lack of shared understanding of AI risks can impede our ability to comprehensively discuss, research, and react to them. This paper addresses this gap by creating an AI Risk Repository to serve as a common frame of reference.

From Novelty to Necessity: A Survey on Second Language Learning in the Age of AI

From Novelty to Necessity: A Survey on Second Language Learning in the Age of AI | Learning & Technology News | Scoop.it

To have a better understanding of how AI is changing the landscape of second language acquisition, we, the authors of this article—a language educator and an undergraduate student—have joined forces and surveyed over 100 individuals, between language learners and instructors, across several higher education institutions in the United States. The survey aims to capture a vignette of the current impact of AI tools on language learners and educators. More specifically, we seek to understand how frequently these tools are being used, the motivations behind their use, and their perceived (in)effectiveness.

Can we please stop calling it AI! – | Learning & Technology News | Scoop.it

The term “artificial intelligence” itself is neither particularly accurate nor helpful – much of what we refer to as AI is not actually doing any ‘learning’ and the term itself is so loaded with connotations that bring to mind images of the Terminator or other dystopian sci-fi tropes that it is beginning to get in the way.
