A Pioneer in Using AI to Teach Reading
A researcher predicted Mostow’s daughter would learn to read faster with an automated feedback system. Twenty years of productive research and development followed.
Ethics and Equity in AI for Collaborative Learning
In designing collaborative learning, design AI features using realistic examples of students’ learning; support teachers' awareness; develop students' sense of belonging.
Stop Judging AI Using Human Exams
Computer scientists should inform the public that human tests are not a valid way to judge the quality of an AI model, nor a good way to compare AI models to human experts. Computer scientists should stop using human tests to measure AI.
AI in the Public Interest: Education and Democracy
Now is a critical time to vigorously pursue public interests in education and to avoid a slippery slide into yielding public governance to an entirely private market view of how AI should be made available to students, teachers, and educational institutions. We need to strengthen governance of public data and more strongly shape the market for AI in education.
Three to five years from now, we won’t be talking about what ChatGPT can or can’t do, but we could be talking about how ChatGPT brought us all together, and the intellectual culture of the university began to shift.
The ChatAlgebra Educational Revolution
We need a ChatAlgebra revolution to reduce the gatekeeping role of the traditional Algebra course, to ameliorate the student suffering associated with the traditional mathematical sequence, to overcome inequitable results, and to free up the curricular space devoted to Algebra for the things students now need to learn. Using the newly free time, we could enable a more diverse body of students to become engaged and proficient in computer science and data science skills.
Making AI Fair, and How to Use It
Marc Rotenberg looks at how an early AI study led to the 1974 Privacy Act, while Jeremy Roschelle considers different aspects of human-centric AI.
Reflections on the AI Bill of Rights Blueprint
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has released a "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights." I reflect on this milestone document in the context of educational systems.
