AI in Education

A recent article published by The PIE NEWS says that the establishment of the Digital Education Council by Supercharger Ventures, with support from prominent universities, marks a significant step in addressing the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the future landscape of higher education. As AI usage becomes increasingly prevalent in learning environments, the council’s mission to foster collaboration, share experiences, and drive positive change is timely and necessary. With founding members including esteemed institutions such as Bocconi University and Singapore Management University, the council is poised to explore new technologies and navigate emerging challenges in education and work.

Danny Bielik, president of the Digital Education Council, aptly points out the importance of addressing blind spots and leveraging global perspectives to meet evolving educational needs. The council’s focus on practicality, as highlighted by Alessandro Di Lullo, offers a promising approach to providing actionable insights and recommendations to universities and corporations worldwide. By establishing thematic working groups and facilitating discussions on AI frameworks, regulation, and academic integrity, the DEC aims to equip stakeholders with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of the digital era.

Looking ahead, the DEC’s commitment to hosting conferences, expanding advisory services, and fostering dialogue on key topics such as innovation, skills, and sustainability underscores its dedication to driving meaningful impact in education and work sectors. As AI and EdTech continue to shape the future of learning, the council’s collaborative efforts and forward-looking governance will be instrumental in charting a course towards inclusive, effective, and future-ready education systems.

In our experiments in this space (stay tuned for more news in coming months) while the new Language Models are amazingly capable, they are also often incorrect or bias in their responses.
