Why are the warnings about AI credible now, and what do you see as the biggest dangers?  AI as a tool to remove drudgeryIt’s just doing a repetitive task over and over.Behavior has emerged from abstractions.These systems are babies.Questions schools should be asking about AI Services they adopt.AI companies don’t exactly know what they are selling.Impossible to test what all the software can do.Having ways to monitor what is going on.Bring students into the process.Productive Struggle - Jo BoalerAPLUS Framework:Moving toward a realm where general cognitive skills will matter more than domain-specific expertiseThe 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.Memory system is fundamentally associative.The better network you have, the better you’ll learn.Work on problems that have different issues, trade-offs, limitations, etc.Resource management becomes a major skill that is needed.Carving up the world according to common challenges than knowledge domains.Knowledge on demand.Teaching the forest and filling in with trees.We tend to take knowledge and pile it up brick by brick.Change is hard.Activation energy - if there’s too much friction, it’s very difficult.AI in the classroom - teacher workload less.When you deal with complex issues, you keep what works and jettison what doesn’t.Working on multi-disciplinary challenges.Student agency is a must.Is there enough understanding of the conceptual ideas?Moving to increased levels of abstraction.About Timothy DaseyDr. 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 perspectives on learning in...","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}
