LONDON, June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Can We Trust in AI for
Education?', the final podcast in the AI in Education series,
sponsored by Nord Anglia Education, is now available on
Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Rose Luckin, professor at
University College London and a world-renowned expert in the use of
AI in education, led the discussion with Lord David Puttnam, Chair of Atticus Education and
Chair of Nord Anglia's Education Advisory Board, alongside
Timo Hannay, founder of data
insights company SchoolDash.
The podcast discusses preparing society for the next
advancements in AI through experimentation and education, so people
"can live fruitfully and safely in an AI rich world," according to
Professor Luckin.
Highlights from the episode:
- On the need to continue advancing digital literacy,
Professor Luckin said: "Teachers need to experiment and feel
that it's okay to try out these tools—even if they might not get it
right the first time—so they have that space to learn
together."
- Lord Puttnam commented on how important it is to "create
an environment of trust within which AI can operate." Adding that
failing to do so could see AI turn into a disruptive technology in
the same way that aspects of social media have managed to.
- Timo Hannay said: "How we end up
in a good place rather than a bad place with AI is by having
healthy scepticism around it. It's here—I don't think we could
uninvent it even if we wanted to, and I think it can genuinely be a
massive force for good, not least in education."
- Professor Luckin remarked: "We know AI has the potential to
revolutionise education, making it more personalised and
accessible. With careful consideration, it can be thoughtfully
integrated into educational practices to benefit both students and
educators."
- Highlighting the learning opportunity across Nord Anglia
Education's global network of schools—which allows for AI tools'
impact to be seen on a large scale—Lord Puttnam said: "The great
thing we can do at Nord Anglia is prove what can work", which he
hopes will influence the scale of AI's adoption and its overall
benefit to education.
