The Hunt Institute’s Post

Looking forward to learning more about AI in higher education from these speakers. Sign up below! #AI #HigherEducation

Join us Thursday, July 11 at 2:00 PM for our Postsecondary Pathways Webinar: Transforming Learning and Teaching in Higher Education!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept; it is a present reality reshaping various sectors, including higher education. From automating administrative tasks to personalizing learning experiences and enhancing faculty development, AI holds the promise of revolutionizing educational outcomes. However, this technological leap also comes with ethical and practical considerations. Join us for a nuanced discussion with experts from academia, technology, and policy sectors as we explore the multifaceted impact of AI on higher education.   Join The Hunt Institute on July 11th, 2024 for a Postsecondary Pathways webinar which will delve into the data, potential benefits, ethical dilemmas, and policy implications of integrating AI into the educational landscape. Together, we will seek to understand how AI can make higher education more accessible, affordable, and effective, while also considering the risks and challenges that come with it.   Register here: https://ow.ly/JWxP50Su7Yk 

Generative AI is becoming an increasingly popular tool for students in higher education, but are universities doing enough to address concerns around its usage? According to a recent report by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), 63% of undergraduates surveyed felt that their universities had clear policies on student use of AI. However, a recent HEPI roundtable involving UK pro vice-chancellors and technology learning experts revealed concerns about the high usage of generative AI by students. Many participants agreed on the importance of boosting AI literacy among students, so they can better understand and contextualize the content produced by AI platforms. The HEPI report also found that more than a third of students using generative AI (35%) do not know how often it produces made-up facts, statistics, or citations. It's clear that universities, colleges and other ecosystem participants need to take action to ensure that students have a better understanding of AI platforms. Attention should also be given to the digital divide, as some students have much more access and competency than others. As we continue to navigate the role of AI in education, let's be 'techno-optimists', but also mindful of its potential pitfalls. #highereducation #ai #universities #digitaldivide #ethics

📕 Excited to announce the release of our comprehensive report, "Artificial Intelligence in Universities: Challenges and Opportunities," developed by the team at 1MillionBot. This document is not just a publication—it's a call to action for educators, administrators, and policymakers. 🚀 AI is rapidly transforming every sector, and education is no exception. Our report delves into how AI can catalyze educational renewal, transforming traditional methods to meet the unique needs of each learner. We explore personalized learning, enhanced academic research, and streamlined administration, all enabled by AI. 🤖 However, with great technology comes great responsibility. We critically analyze the ethical dimensions, data privacy concerns, and the necessity for AI literacy, advocating for robust frameworks that ensure AI is used responsibly in academic settings. 🌍 As we stand at the brink of a new educational paradigm, our findings offer strategic recommendations for integrating AI into higher education, ensuring our institutions remain at the forefront of innovation and efficiency. 🔗 Access the full report to discover how AI can be a powerful tool in crafting the future of education. Let's embrace these changes together and lead the way in educational excellence!

📣 𝐈𝐧 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠! 📣 In the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in student success. Educational experts who attend higher education conferences will confirm that AI is the buzzword most vendors are using to capture the attention of attendees. With all the hype, it's important to note that AI will never replace the need for human interaction within education. In this week's article, Pronto explores five reasons why AI will never entirely replace the human experience in education.

For the past few years, Sam Sellar and I have been investigating the mundane introduction of AI into governing education. Our aim has been to dig deeper than the hyperbolic noise of mass disruption - and now the GenAI-ification of everything - to focus on what we call minor experiments in using AI in education policy contexts. In a new paper, we provide a case study undertaken during 2021/2022 of the role of data scientists and the use of machine learning in education policy making. We look at the importance of understanding AI, not as expertise and methods that are antithetical to contemporary policy, but rather as having significant overlap with existing ways of governing. We suggest that current uses of AI in education governance are not yet changing policy in significant ways. But minor experiments are based on the anticipation that such change can be produced by AI. And the introduction of new expertise needed to make these experiments possible is shifting thinking, or what we call the cognitive infrastructure of education policymakers. #aieducation #ai There's a few free copies here.
