disadvantages of using Artificial Intelligence in education. Each of you will read a different
article that you have found on the Internet which deals with different aspects of this topic.
Share the points from your article that you feel should be included in the poster and engage
in a three-point debate about this topic.

You have 7-8 minutes to read your text.

Afterwards, you will be expected to hold a discussion for 8-10 minutes.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning

Like all of us, educators use AI-powered services in their everyday lives, such as voice
assistants in their homes; tools that can correct grammar, complete sentences, and write
essays; and automated trip planning on their phones. As a result, educators see
opportunities to use AI-powered capabilities like speech recognition to increase the
support available to students with disabilities, multilingual learners, and others who could
benefit from greater adaptivity and personalization in digital tools for learning. They are
further exploring how AI can enable writing or improving lessons, as well as their process
for finding, choosing, and adapting material for use in their lessons.
Educators are also aware of new risks. Useful, powerful functionality can also be
accompanied with new data privacy and security risks. Educators recognize that AI can
automatically produce output that is inappropriate or wrong. They are wary that the
associations or automations created by AI may amplify unwanted biases. They have noted
new ways in which students may represent others’ work as their own. They are well-aware
of “teachable moments” and pedagogical strategies that a human teacher can address but
are undetected or misunderstood by AI models. They worry whether recommendations
suggested by an algorithm would be fair. Educators’ concerns are manifold.
Everyone in education has a responsibility to harness the good to serve educational
priorities while also protecting against the dangers that may arise as a result of AI being
integrated in educational technology.

A brief history of artificial intelligence

Multiple factors have driven the development of artificial intelligence (AI) over the years. The ability
to swiftly and effectively collect and analyze enormous amounts of data has been made possible by
computing technology advancements, which have been a significant contributing factor.

Another factor is the demand for automated systems that can complete activities that are too risky,
challenging or time-consuming for humans.

Mid-20th century

The origins of artificial intelligence may be dated to the middle of the 20th century, when computer
scientists started to create algorithms and software that could carry out tasks that ordinarily need
human intelligence, like problem-solving, pattern recognition and judgment. One of the earliest
pioneers of AI was Alan Turing, who proposed the concept of a machine that could simulate any
human intelligence task, which is now known as the Turing Test.

1960s and 1970s

In the 1960s and 1970s, the focus of AI research shifted to developing expert systems designed to
mimic the decisions made by human specialists in specific fields. These methods were frequently
employed in industries such as engineering, finance and medicine.

1980s

However, when the drawbacks of rule-based systems became evident in the 1980s, AI research
began to focus on machine learning, which is a branch of the discipline that employs statistical
methods to let computers learn from data. As a result, neural networks were created and modeled
after the human brain’s structure and operation.

1990s and 2000s

AI research made substantial strides in the 1990s in robotics, computer vision and natural language
processing. In the early 2000s, advances in speech recognition, image recognition and natural
language processing were made possible by the advent of deep learning.

Modern-day AI

Virtual assistants, self-driving cars, medical diagnostics and financial analysis are just a few of the
modern-day uses for AI. Artificial intelligence is developing quickly, with researchers looking at novel
ideas like reinforcement learning, quantum computing and neuromorphic computing.

Another important trend in modern-day AI is the shift toward more human-like interactions, with
voice assistants like Siri and Alexa leading the way. Natural language processing has also made
significant progress, enabling machines to understand and respond to human speech with
increasing accuracy. ChatGPT — a large language model trained by OpenAI, based on the GPT-3.5
architecture — is an example of the “talk of the town” AI that can understand natural language and
generate human-like responses to a wide range of queries and prompts.

The future of AI

Looking to the future, AI is likely to play an increasingly important role in solving some of the biggest
challenges facing society, such as climate change, healthcare and cybersecurity. However, there are
concerns about AI’s ethical and social implications.

An article on CHAT GPT

ChatGPT is an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by OpenAI,
one of the leading AI research organizations in the world. It is an advanced deep learning
system designed to understand, analyze and generate human-like language, making it
one of the most powerful conversational AI tools available today.

The development of ChatGPT began in 2018 with the release of the first version, GPT-1,
followed by GPT-2 in 2019 and GPT-3 in 2020. Each subsequent release has been an
improvement on the previous one, with GPT-3 being the most advanced and widely used
version to date. It has been trained on a massive dataset of over 45 terabytes of text,
enabling it to understand and generate human-like language in a wide range of contexts.
ChatGPT works by using a technique called deep learning, which involves training a
neural network to learn from vast amounts of data. The neural network used in ChatGPT is
composed of multiple layers of artificial neurons that work together to understand the
structure and patterns in language. The model is trained on a large corpus of text data,
which it uses to learn the patterns and relationships between words and phrases.
One of the key features of ChatGPT is its ability to generate coherent and contextually
appropriate responses to open-ended questions or prompts. This is achieved through a
process known as language modeling, where the model predicts the likelihood of a given
sequence of words based on the patterns it has learned from the training data. The model
is capable of generating responses that are fluent, coherent and relevant to the input it
receives.

ChatGPT has numerous applications in various industries, including customer service,

education, healthcare, and entertainment. It can be used in chatbots and virtual assistants
to provide personalized and responsive customer support. It can also be used in language
translation, content creation, and social media analysis.
However, as with all AI technologies, there are some concerns about the potential risks
and ethical implications of using ChatGPT. One of the primary concerns is the potential for
bias in the data used to train the model, which could result in biased responses or
perpetuate harmful stereotypes. There is also a risk of malicious actors using the
technology to spread misinformation or engage in harmful behaviors.
To address these concerns, OpenAI has implemented several measures to ensure the
responsible use of ChatGPT. For example, they have restricted access to the most
advanced versions of the model and implemented guidelines for ethical use. They have
also released tools and resources to help researchers and developers mitigate the risks
associated with using the technology.
In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful and innovative AI language model that has the
potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and interact with technology. Its
advanced capabilities in natural language processing and generation have numerous
practical applications across a range of industries. However, it is important to use this
technology responsibly and with consideration of the potential risks and ethical
implications.
