  • AI-Assisted Grading at Scale: Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer on the Future of Assessment

    AI-Assisted Grading at Scale: Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer on the Future of Assessment
    2024/11/18
    Artificial Intelligence, Leadership and the Future of Education

    Host:
    Richard Foster-Fletcher, Executive Chair, MKAI.org

    Guest:
    Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer, AI-Enhanced Learning Analytics Researcher, ETH Zurich and Michigan State University

    Guest Bio:
    Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer is a pioneering researcher in AI-enhanced learning analytics with experience at ETH Zurich and Michigan State University. He specializes in transforming complex data into actionable insights to support educators in real-time. His work bridges academic research with practical teaching applications, focusing on adaptive feedback systems that personalize learning experiences and improve student engagement. Dr. Kortemeyer’s research aims to elevate educational outcomes by integrating advanced analytics and technology-driven strategies into the classroom.

    Episode Title:
    AI-Assisted Grading at Scale: Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer on Efficiency, Student Feedback, and the Future of Assessment

    Episode Overview:
    In "AI-Assisted Grading at Scale," we explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on educational assessment with Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer. This episode delves into how AI technologies are reshaping grading, feedback, and assessment practices in further education, particularly in fields like mathematics and science, where grading tasks are highly repetitive. Dr. Kortemeyer provides a practical look at how AI can support educators with large-scale grading demands while highlighting the limitations AI faces in subjective areas. We discuss the evolving role of AI in classrooms, emphasizing why AI should be a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human judgment.

    Key Topics of Discussion:
    1. The practical benefits of AI in large-scale grading and assessment.
    2. AI's role in providing timely, consistent feedback to students.
    3. The limitations of AI in subjective assessments and the risks of over-reliance.
    4. AI as a supportive tool for educators, not a replacement.
    5. Challenges and considerations in using AI to personalize learning.
    Key 'Takeaway' Ideas:
    1. AI can improve the scalability and efficiency of grading in quantitative subjects but is less reliable for subjective assessments.
    2. While AI helps handle repetitive tasks, human judgment remains crucial for complex and nuanced feedback.
    3. Educators can use AI to enhance their teaching efforts, focusing on areas that require more personalized engagement.

  • AI, Humanity’s Evolution, and Our Place in the Cosmos with Professor J. Craig Wheeler

    AI, Humanity’s Evolution, and Our Place in the Cosmos with Professor J. Craig Wheeler
    2024/10/21
    AI, Humanity’s Evolution, and Our Place in the Cosmos

    Guest: Professor J. Craig Wheeler, Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin

    Summary: In this episode of the Boundless Podcast, Richard Foster-Fletcher, Executive Chair of MKAI, welcomes Professor J. Craig Wheeler, a distinguished astrophysicist and author of the forthcoming book The Path to Singularity: How Technology Will Challenge the Future of Humanity. Together, they explore humanity’s place in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, discussing topics like AI, climate change, space colonization, and the implications of technological advancements on society. Professor Wheeler provides his insightful perspective on humanity’s future, contemplating how technology could shape or even redefine our species in the years to come.

    Key Talking Points:
    • The Journey to Now – Professor Wheeler discusses his background in astrophysics, what inspired his exploration of humanity's evolution and technology, and how his astronomical perspective shapes his views on our future.
    • Technological Impact – A discussion on AI, genetic engineering, and how these technologies will fundamentally change human life, including the concept of the technological singularity.
    • Opportunities for Equity – Climate change, overpopulation, and AI as global challenges that demand equitable solutions. Could AI offer an alternative form of intelligence to guide ethical decision-making?
    • Ethical Considerations – The potential risks of unchecked technological advancements, with a focus on AI and genetic modification, and the ethical responsibilities of scientists.
    • The Way Forward – Speculation on humanity's future as a multi-planetary species, the need for biological change, and the role of AI in either aiding or threatening our existence.
    • Closing Thoughts – Reflections on responsible innovation, merging technology with humanity, and the importance of broad awareness around technological risks.
    Key Quotes:
    • "If climate change significantly reduces our population, who caused the problem becomes academic. It will affect us all."
    • "We may need to think about death in a very different way if we develop the technology to live forever."
    • "AI has immense potential for good, but the key is awareness and ensuring that we don’t let it run unchecked."
    Guest Bio: Professor J. Craig Wheeler is an American astronomer. He is the Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin. He is known for his theoretical work on supernovae. He is a past president of the American Astronomical Society, a Fellow of that society, and a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
