Study Notes
Defining AI
- AI refers to the development of intelligent systems that mimic human behavior and decision-making.
- AI simulates human intelligence through learning, reasoning, and self-correction.
Fundamentals of AI
- AI encompasses various stages of intelligence.
- Narrow AI/Weak AI: Performs specific tasks (e.g., voice recognition, recommendation systems).
- Artificial General Intelligence/Strong AI: Learns/adapts across various tasks like a human.
- Superintelligent AI: Outperforms human intelligence in all areas.
How AI Learns
- Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data for predictions (e.g., image classification).
- Unsupervised Learning: Identifies patterns in unlabeled data (e.g., grouping similar books).
- Reinforcement Learning: Learns through actions and rewards (e.g., game playing).
- Deep Learning: Uses neural networks for complex tasks on large amounts of unstructured data (e.g., image recognition).
- Transfer Learning: Reuses a pre-existing trained model for a related task.
Exploring Generative AI(GenAI)
- GenAI systems generate new content (text, images, music) based on learned patterns.
- GenAI uses machine learning, especially deep learning models (neural networks).
- Autoencoders: Compress and decompress input data.
- Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Two networks (generator and discriminator) compete.
- Transformers (e.g., GPT): Effective at generating text, trained on web data, process sentences differently.
- Large Language Models: Understand text input and generate human-like text.
AI and the Future of Teaching and Learning
- Human-like computers have capabilities different from early edtech tools.
- AI-powered systems offer homework assistance/lesson planning.
- Educational applications can converse with students/teachers, co-pilot classroom activities.
- "Intelligence Augmentation" recognizes that people benefit from assistive tools.
Educational Benefits of AI in ELT
- AI supports speaking, writing, and reading development.
- Enhances pedagogy and self-regulation in various ways.
- Notable exclusion that listening skills were not highlighted as a focus area in education.
AI in Speaking/Reading/Writing Skills
- AI enhances vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.
- AI supports reading by assisting with vocabulary.
- AI aids in writing by helping with grammar and checking for patterns.
AI in Pedagogy
- AI facilitates ELT methods, strategies, and techniques.
- Some approaches use lectures/explanations/approaches for personalized learning.
- Challenges include technology breakdowns, limited capabilities, fear of the unknown.
Ethical Considerations
- Transparency(educators, students, and parents understand AI decision-making processes)
- Explainability(AI systems provide clear reasoning for their outputs/decisions).
- Diversity, Non-discrimination, Fairness (avoiding bias)
- Societal, Environmental Wellbeing(bridging social divides and ensuring equitable access).
- Privacy/Data Protection (AI systems comply with data privacy laws and handle student data responsibly).
- Technical Robustness and Safety(secure and resilient AI systems).
- Accountability (accountable AI development, deployment and outcomes).
AI and Data Usage Examples in Education
- Student teaching using AI (intelligent tutoring/dialogue-based tutoring).
- Supporting student learning (exploratory learning environments/formative writing assessments).
- Supporting teachers (summative writing assessment/pedagogical resource recommendation).
- Supporting systems (diagnostic systems/resource allocation).
Ethical Course of Action
- Rule Followers: Adhere to strict ethical guidelines.
- Outcome Seekers: Flexible approach that prioritizes beneficial outcomes.
Transparency and Explainability
- Transparency builds trust in AI systems, enabling user questioning and challenge of AI decisions.
- Explainable AI provides clear reasoning for AI systems' outputs/decisions.
Diversity, Non-Discrimination, Fairness
- AI systems must be designed/implemented ensuring fairness/avoiding bias affecting any student group.
- Regularly evaluating AI systems ensures that they don't perpetuate/introduce bias related to data or application of algorithms themselves.
Societal, Environmental Wellbeing
- AI in education promotes bridging social divides and ensuring equitable access.
- AI systems aim for social impact and social wellbeing.
Privacy and Data Protection
- AI systems must comply with data privacy laws and handle student data responsibly.
- Data should only be used for its intended purpose; students must have control over data usage.
Technical Robustness and Safety
- Protecting student data from cyberattacks is crucial.
- AI systems should be designed with built-in safeguards for data misuse/unauthorized access.
Accountability
- Establish clear accountability for AI system development, deployment, and outcomes.
- AI providers/educators involved should be accountable for their actions.
Emerging Competencies for Ethical Use of AI
- Area 1 (Professional Development): Utilize digital technology for communication, collaboration, and professional development.
- Area 2 (Digital Resources): Sourcing/creating/sharing digital learning resources/Data/AI governance.
- Area 3 (Teaching & Learning): Employ digital technologies for enhanced learning and assessment.
- Area 4 (Assessment): Utilize digital technologies for enhancing assessment.
- Area 5 (Empowering Learners/Area 6(Digital Competence for Learners): Employ digital technologies to enhance learning and personalization/learner inclusion.
- AI Foundation and Application in ELT: AI simulations of human intelligence support both teaching and learning. AI-driven tools that can be used for teaching/assessment.
- Natural Language Processing/Automated Writing Evaluation/Data-Driven Learning: Examples of AI in language learning/teaching.
Conclusions
- Educators should integrate AI effectively while fostering critical human skills.
Computerized Dynamic Assessment/Intelligent Tutoring Systems/Automatic Speech Recognition
