Description

We ended 2022 with a new Artificial Intelligence moment. Millions of people began experimenting with OpenAI's ChatGPT solution. Anyone can now type a request to an AI engine with natural language and the AI will create impressively human sounding responses for you. Including writing entire essays or papers for students instantly! New York City public schools already banned ChatGPT. AI is transforming how people and computers work together. But with any change there will be good and bad that can come from these advances and what people can do with AI. Dr. Nitta spent the last decade leading research and development of AI applications for education at IBM Watson and now at Merlyn Mind. In this session, Dr. Nitta will share an AI expert's perspective on the challenges and opportunities for AI in education. Come ready to ask your questions about AI in education and participate in a discussion where we can all learn together. P.s. if you haven't experienced ChatGPT for yourself yet here's an example of how quickly AI is changing how people will collaborate with technology going forward... Look what I asked ChatGPT to do to create a title for this session...  What I typed into the chat: "I'm presenting at a conference about the future of education technology. My session title is "Does AI have a place in the classroom?" Can you write a catchy session description that will make attendees want to come to my presentation." ChatGPT's response: "Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the role of artificial intelligence in education. As AI continues to advance, it is increasingly being integrated into various aspects of the classroom. But what are the potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in education? How can we ensure that AI is used ethically and inclusively in the classroom? And what does the future of AI in education look like? Come to this session to hear experts weigh in on these questions and more, and to share your own insights on the topic."
