And need to remember not to go down this time sink again next year...

From @dylanwiliam : AI has the potential to greatly increase the amount of provide cheap, low-level assessment throughout a student's learning. How do we make sure we don't abuse this? Education mustn't be too intrusive, and must have points that allow freedom from assessment.

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

Nice question from @rec54: How are we preparing students how to operate in an AI-mediated world? How do we ensure that they understand their own value as humans, rather than believing that AI makes them irrelevant?

Really good panel on AI's potential for change at @IEAIED's Global Summit on the Ethics of AI in Education. Very strong consensus on the high potential of AI, provided that the AI is used to support teaching and learning, rather than direct it. #EthicsAIED

Shortly joining an expert panel on ways AI can change education #ethicsaied

@HMRCcustomers Hi, how can I pay my tax return of 33p?

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

Looking forward to joining the panel on the future of #ArtificialIntelligence and learning at #1society tomorrow, with Supriya Rai, @aeladl and @RebeccaSpour.

The Open University launched its OpenSTEM Labs in 2015, providing students with remote access to laboratories and observatories via remotely-operated robotic instruments. But experts noted that no other UK university has comparable provision.

@psychemedia I think the dog's hacked your account

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

A different take on the Imitation Game: can a machine behave in a human-like way in a complex gaming environment? https://t.co/eY6beyAWea

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

@psychemedia Of course, trying to teach introductory computing in a crappy language like python is why this question even arises... 😜

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

@psychemedia I wouldn't do either, but then my main language is prolog. If I were wearing my Lisp hat, then the latter. If I were wearing my C hat, then the former. It all depends on how you're trying to get the students to think.

[Alistair Willis @undercertainty]

Emphasising that how the AI fits into the overall process, and how to manage the AI's imperfections, is more important than the algorithm's numerical performance.

AI equal with human experts in medical diagnosis, study finds https://t.co/kkMJZ2WDbs

Day 2 of @OUComputing and @IoCoding AI workshop -excellent opening presentation by our colleague Dr Clara Manicini about dogs' detection of disease -illustrating the potential of ML pattern recognition to assist in communicating dog behaviour.

I was asked to conceive, design and build 30 'Interactive conference badges' for a joint @IoCoding / @OpenUniversity AI Summer School. The badges use an @Arduino Nano, an @adafruit Neopixel Jewel and an NFC reader to record student progress. 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 https://t.co/cHmwr7OrNQ @kmiou
