AI in Higher Ed: Using What We Already Know About Good Teaching Practices

ED Surge

This was the epitome of knowledge and learning before the internet became widely available. Telling a student to go to the library to access a physical copy of something is the outlier instead of the norm. Now, if my child asks me a question about anything, we can Google it on my phone from wherever we happen to be.

How can intelligent systems revolutionise healthcare?

Futurum

Dr Narges Armanfard from McGill University and Mila Quebec AI Institute in Montreal, Canada, has set up iSMART Lab to develop intelligent computer systems that can support medical professionals. To tackle these challenges, deep-learning methods are being developed which can automatically learn and identify patterns from vast amounts of data.”

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

(For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) How does all this relate to technology?

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

And for example the concept of “temperature” is there because exponential distributions familiar from statistical physics happen to be being used, but there’s no “physical” connection—at least so far as we know.) In this particular case, we can use known laws of physics to work it out.
