Why are the warnings about AI credible now, and what do you see as the biggest dangers?  \nAI as a tool to remove drudgery\nIt’s just doing a repetitive task over and over.\nBehavior has emerged from abstractions.\nThese systems are babies.\nQuestions schools should be asking about AI Services they adopt.\nAI companies don’t exactly know what they are selling.\nImpossible to test what all the software can do.\nHaving ways to monitor what is going on.\nBring students into the process.\nProductive Struggle - Jo Boaler\nAPLUS Framework:Moving toward a realm where general cognitive skills will matter more than domain-specific expertise\nThe way we are doing school is not the best way to get there. How you divide up your functions drives the overall ethos of the system.\nMemory system is fundamentally associative.\nThe better network you have, the better you’ll learn.\nWork on problems that have different issues, trade-offs, limitations, etc.\nResource management becomes a major skill that is needed.\nCarving up the world according to common challenges than knowledge domains.\nKnowledge on demand.\nTeaching the forest and filling in with trees.\nWe tend to take knowledge and pile it up brick by brick.\nChange is hard.\nActivation energy - if there’s too much friction, it’s very difficult.\nAI in the classroom - teacher workload less.\nWhen you deal with complex issues, you keep what works and jettison what doesn’t.\nWorking on multi-disciplinary challenges.\nStudent agency is a must.\nIs there enough understanding of the conceptual ideas?\nMoving to increased levels of abstraction.\nAbout Timothy Dasey\n\nDr. Tim Dasey has a long history of technical development, analysis, and leadership on huge national issues like today’s AI emergence. His graduate school dissertation in the early 90s was on AI machine learning applied to neuroscience, and that combination has allowed him unusual...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/nWVRQgr5qAaqq4FBrc1SK-md_IsJQV0RWL4ZBC2WeeQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNTQ5LzE2ODM4/NjYyOTUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
