The AI Education Revolution is Coming - or is it? | Dr. Philippa Hardman | TEDxSantaBarbaraSalon

AI has the potential to disrupt education - but will we allow it to?
Technology has the potential to transform the world: look at any industry (the music industry, the dating industry, the food industry, the travel industry), and you find a story of disruption powered by the forces of technology.
Amidst all this change, the education system has remained steadfast in its resistance to the disruption. Despite the promise of so-called disruptive education technologies like the MOOC, education technology has failed to deliver on its promise to transform both the reach and quality of education.
Enter AI.
The disruptive potential of AI is truly monumental.
Imagine a world where AI-designed learning experiences push us beyond a broken “sage on the stage model of instruction and create a world where every learning experience is tailored to the individual learner’s needs and preferences. Imagine a world where every learner can access an AI coach trained by the best teachers in the industry. Imagine a world where AI frees teachers from distraction from routine tasks like record keeping & lesson planning to focus instead on research, data analysis, AI training and modeling, and 1:1 coaching.
This is the future of education that AI can help us create. There is no doubt that AI has the potential to transform both the quality of the education system and the equity of access to it. The biggest question is not “Can AI disrupt education?” - it’s “Will we allow it to?”. Dr. Philippa Hardman is a scholar at the University of Cambridge and a thought leader in the world of education technology. She has spent over 20 years researching the science of how humans learn and, off the back of her research, has developed an evidence-based approach to learning experience design, known as DOMS™️, which is taking the education industry by storm. Philippa's mission is to leverage the power of technology to fix how we design and deliver learning experiences, to deliver on our unfulfilled promise to give equal access to truly transformative learning experiences. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Chef’s kiss 😘- active, personalized, and individually coached!

[@tooljack4439]

Its a privilege to be introduced to Dr. Hardman thru this conversation. Go Team Embrace! Go Khan Academy!

[@vitaliivarbanets3045]

This is by far one of the greatest talks not only on AI in education but education in general

[@dradamdwight4815]

Brilliant! Go ‘Team Embrace’!

[@jeroenkrouwels]

This is among one of the best conversations I've seen so far. Thank you for this one!

[@user-pz2sn8jm8c]

I've been teaching in some form or another for 20+ years. This is *the* talk I've been looking for to explain what I've been seeing and looking for. It's so well done. Like she said: worlds greatest secret. We know what to do and we're REALLY good at hiding and completely ignoring it.... *sigh*

[@marisasergnese3166]

Such an important conversation with so many significant insights.

[@IsxaaqAcademy]

Impressive, eloquent, and interesting! I was even avoiding blinking, she is very intelligent and has a lot to say, but she picked the nuggets and framed it in the best way possible, Mashalah.

[@E1vise1vis]

This was beautiful to listen.

[@phillipsparks9690]

Try to take bloom verbs into custom prompts and instructions to shift from one level to the next..... then text...then next. Ai can help this

[@Mrpargmatic]

Creator, one major point is missing. I am a history teacher, I use AI, the REAL problem is that state standards are TOO detailed and tagged with a high stakes state Test. This arrangement causes us to default into traditional banking. Until the states allow for constructive learning ie freedom, we will not change.

[@LeonardWaks]

Precisely. Stard with a curriculum and standards and AI can only make the system more efficient - better at doing something that shouldn't be done at all.

[@LeonardWaks]

This talk suffers from the same problem as Sal Khan's. The background of teachers, classrooms, tests is all still accepted as a given, even though it is acknowledged up front that the entire process of schooling fails. At around minute 15 Hardman openly speaks about AI in the classroom, about AI for teachers. This is the same basic language as used by Khan. But it builds in the very failure we are trying to get beyond. The opportunity is imagining something new,m some new approach to educating our young people. Star with the assumption that they are in classrooms, with a teacher, a curriculum and an assessment and =- just as Hardman herself said at the beginning - we will be using AI to make a system that does not work more efficient - faster and at doing what should no longer be done at all. My book, Education 2.0, addresses this fundamental problem. I will have to write a new edition to catch up with new developments.

Video games are the future of education.

[@mujuniurbans5873]

Am team Embrace

[@TimRobinson]

Odd that she's talking about long and well established pedagogies around inquiry and problem based learning as a "new" discovery and also that AI has been around for "60 years". ??

[@ikillwithyourtruthholdagai2000]

I thougth that top left was A.I.

[@christophertaylor5455]

@Philliippa, please don't wave your hands around so much. I'm trying to listen. Sorry

[@rgflint]

I suspect the speaker is an AI person not a human. The face and head appear to be morphed onto the body and the presentation appears machine generated.
