Season 2 Episode 5: AI in the Classroom -- Use It Before It Uses You?
What should teachers and students do about our society's sudden obsession with Artificial Intelligence? In this episode, we revisit our previous season's podcast on the topic, reflecting on the role that recent generative AI technologies (LLMs, ChatGPT, and related programs) should play in contemporary education. The speed and intensity with which AI technology has been inserted into our daily lives requires a thoughtful response from both teachers and students, if we are to use the technology rather than have the technology use us. The episode looks at why the current AI debate is so confusing. How we can rethink or reframe this issue to shape an intelligent response to its implicit challenges? This episode is the first of a two-part series.
