This Is How Artificial Intelligence Will Shape eLearning For Good - eLearning Industry

This Is How Artificial Intelligence Will Shape eLearning For Good - eLearning Industry | Robotics and AI Expert Systems | Scoop.it
Deep Learning has pushed the field of AI forward recently, producing incredible results in areas like speech and image recognition. Where most machine learning methodologies try to model the world, deep learning attempts to model the human brain in order to create and maintain its own representations of the world.

Great to see someone making the distinction between AI and machine learning.

Oskar Almazan's curator insight, December 30, 2016 1:47 PM
In an age where everything is changing –and changing fast– it’s easy to forget how much we’ve progressed. While we may not have floating cars or robotic teachers, we are on the brink of some very exciting and dramatic developments across all industries. As one of the principal drivers of progression, it’s no surprise that learning –and education in general– has been a focus of technological advances. While eLearning is not a new concept, its popularity is increasing, especially as technology becomes more affordable. A big barrier for eLearning is the cost of developing content. According to a survey conducted by Chapman Alliance, developing one hour of eLearning content can take anything from 49 to 125 hours. In comparison to the 22 to 82 hours that it takes for instructor-led training (ILT), it is easy to see how the costs stack up. Even though eLearning wins in the long run due to its scalability, it can still pose a barrier to companies that can’t afford the initial investment. Developing ways to repurpose existing content can mitigate the expense of content development, and recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be the silver bullet that’s needed. Here is how Artificial Intelligence will shape eLearning in the future.

Automation and Robots Could Permanently Disrupt Capitalism

While some may be able to coast into office with the promise of bringing jobs back from oversees, they fail to realize that there may be no jobs to bring back. Automation is set to replace 5 million human jobs by 2020, with poorer countries being impacted significantly more than developed nations.

How AI can bring on a second Industrial Revolution

How AI can bring on a second Industrial Revolution | Robotics and AI Expert Systems | Scoop.it
"The actual path of a raindrop as it goes down the valley is unpredictable, but the general direction is inevitable," says digital visionary Kevin Kelly -- and technology is much the same, driven by patterns that are surprising but inevitable. Over the next 20 years, he says, our penchant for making things smarter and smarter will have a profound impact on nearly everything we do. Kelly explores three trends in AI we need to understand in order to embrace it and steer its development. "The most popular AI product 20 years from now that everyone uses has not been invented yet," Kelly says. "That means that you're not late."

Intelligence May Stem From a Basic Algorithm in the Human Brain

A theory posits that the all of our thoughts are a function of a basic algorithm, N=2^i–1. This development may be huge for AI, since artificial neural networks operate much like the brain, applying this formula may be the key to true intelligence.

Why AI needs to drop the word ‘intelligence’

Why AI needs to drop the word ‘intelligence’ | Robotics and AI Expert Systems | Scoop.it
Few would argue that AI has progressed faster than expected, with self-driving cars and significant advances in machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. In some cases the practical applications clearly transcend human capabilities and competences. We don’t need to see ‘intelligence’ at the centre of this solar system. The Copernican move is to remove this term and replace it with competences and look to problems that can be solved.
