A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights:
1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI.
2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later.
3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators.
4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc.
TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.
Did the whaling industry contribute vital experience and capital to the abolitionist movement? Yup, according to my new coauthored study 👇🏻 https://t.co/axVTr1VU0D
The troll-game is strong with the Harris/Walz campaign. Walz walks off DNC to Rockin' the Free World ... the very song Trump used to kick off his 2016 candidacy.
Trump’s comment should prompt more reflection on how committed Evangelicals are to democracy. It has served a purpose for the last century or two, but its source is in the reformation, not the old testament.
Reminder: The cops are not an ideologically neutral peacekeeping force. They are a militarized, occupation force whose job is to protect elite interests and the status quo. They quell dissent using techniques honed on Black and Brown bodies for centuries.
American universities about to break $100k/yr in cost at the same time as they welcome riot police to tear gas their students. This system is broken, and the left and the right should be able to agree on that.
