@TobyWalsh there is a risk that we wake up and realise we have used AI to simply dumb ourselves down #UASolutionsSummit

[Prof Abby Cathcart @AbbyCathcart1]

@DrCathyFoley on AI- it’s not sentient, not magic, not emotional - its statistics and we need to teach people to understand that #UASolutionsSummit

[Prof Abby Cathcart @AbbyCathcart1]

@JasonClareMP it’s time to break down the barriers that mean that 69% of students from wealthy families have a degree but only 19% from poor families #UASolutionsSummit

[Prof Abby Cathcart @AbbyCathcart1]

Regulatory frameworks should allow autonomy to flourish and autonomy leads to innovation - its a virtuous circle @AlisonAdvanceHE #UASolutionsSummit

@BOConnorMP Collaboration between VET and Universities will be key to keeping ahead of the technological disruptions facing our society #UASolutionsSummit

[Merlin Crossley @MerlinCrossley]

Mary O’Kane is asked about the costs and implementation - she rightly responds that there are costs to neglecting education, social costs in health, welfare, security, and wellbeing. Highly educated societies tend to be more harmonious - Australia should keep building on this

[Prof Abby Cathcart @AbbyCathcart1]

@ValerieAmos on leadership- yes it’s difficult but having power is so much better than not having it #UASolutionsSummit

[Prof Abby Cathcart @AbbyCathcart1]

Making the world fairer and better globally - listen to and value our students @ValerieAmos #UASolutionsSummit

Important seminar @QUT today on supporting students in the lead up to the referendum. Worrying feedback from Indigenous students on growing feelings of vulnerability. Huge thanks to my colleagues @hhuijser @QuirkyWoodlands @freyawriter Tain Lloyd, Peter Spradbrow & Julie Cook

Having spent my morning listening to the @QUT student success advisers and coaches offer support to students negatively impacted by the 50% pass rule I say this change can’t come soon enough https://t.co/zPkxK1qWCc

#AI in education could promote ‘laziness and lack of independent thought’. If educators, students & assessment markers all use AI – who has learnt anything? What is purpose of assessment?: #QUT to Senate AI in education inquiry https://t.co/z99mxsaap5
