WHAT IS AI?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to mimic human cognitive functions such as learning and problem solving.

AI is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of technologies, from simple chatbots to self-driving cars.

WHAT IS AI?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a vast and evolving field, so there's no single, simple definition that encompasses everything it touches. However, here are a few key ways to understand AI:

Broadly: AI refers to the simulation or approximation of human intelligence in machines. This includes a wide range of abilities, from understanding and responding to language to playing games and making decisions.

Technically: AI involves using various techniques and technologies like machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, to enable machines to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence.

Practically: AI is already impacting many aspects of our lives, from the recommendations you see on online shopping platforms to the spam filters in your email, and even the self-driving cars being developed.

AI for Assessments and Feedback: A Cautionary Tale

35 of 43

“The allure of AI in education is undeniable. It offers the promise of efficiency and innovation. However, this allure becomes problematic when AI-generated rubrics are seen as an authority on rubrics. It leads educators down a path where the art of teaching and the science of assessment are overshadowed by the convenience of automation.”

- Alice Keeler

Negative Impacts of AI Bias:

  • Unfair treatment: If an AI tool is biased, it might make decisions that are unfair to certain groups of people.
  • Continuing stereotypes: If an AI tool learns from data that includes stereotypes (e.g. race or gender), it might make decisions that are based on those prejudiced ideas.
  • Unequal opportunities: AI bias can also limit opportunities for some people by unfairly favoring another group.
  • Misinformation: If an AI tool learns from biased information, it can end up creating and spreading false or incomplete information.

Remember the Human Element

“My hope is not that AI will replace teachers in the realm of assessment. Instead, my hope is it will free teachers up to give the kind of feedback that only a human can give.” � - John Spencer
