Week 2: AI and the Future of Learning

Week 2

I am currently completing the dual masters program at Benedictine University for Public Health and Business Administration. One thought I have with AI is how it will affect learning in the future. Until last year we did not have Chat GPT or any tools as easy to use to help us study. Now I have experienced heavier proctoring on exams and more instructions telling us to not use Chat GPT on exams and homework in order to prevent cheating. 

With not being able to use Chat GPT in the past you were forced to do a little bit more work. Now students could type word problems into the app and are given an answer that shows exactly how the problem is solved. You can even feed Chat GPT chapters of a book and ask it to summarize the data.  While this can be beneficial in some scenarios it can also be used as a crutch for students.

It is now common for young kids to be supplied an iPad or laptop through their school to do classes and homework on. I am curious to see if Chat GPT will be blocked so students have to do their work honestly. Studying is a skill that is developed over time and this skill could be hindered if children are constantly doing their work through applications like Chat GPT. I am curious to see how the future of learning will be affected and to see how educators will handle these changes.

Week 7: Deep Learning

Week 7: Deep Learning Deep learning is a specialized form of machine learning that focuses on developing algorithms  and models inspired by the structure of the human brain. More specifically it is modeled after the neuron network in the brain. Deep learning models are designed to automatically learn and represent data in increasingly complex ways by using multiple layers of representations. The term deep learning can be traced back as far as the 1940's but did not regain popularity until the 2000's when it was reintroduced to the academic community. Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and Yann LeCun are researchers that have been coined the godfathers of deep learning. These individuals significantly advanced deep learning algorithms, architectures, and applications, laying the foundation for the widespread adoption of deep learning across various disciplines. The main components of deep learning are Artificial Neural Networks, Deep Neural Networks, Training Algorithms, and U

Week 8: AI in Ads

  Week 8: AI in Ads Have you ever been talking to your friend about a topic and possibly even googled something and now this topic is all over your social media and you are seeing ads for it everywhere? This is another form of AI. Websites uses tools called cookies to collect data about what you are looking at, for how long and if you are returning to the website or a certain item.  The more you use your computer the more it will get to know you. For instance if you online shop a lot you will gets ads on your social media or even in your email for stores you look at regularly. You will even see the specific items you have looked at on your feed.  If you look up a lot of recipes you will get ads for cook books and cooking supplies.  This is one way companies use AI to market themselves. To be honest this tactic has worked on me more than once because the more times the item has popped up the more I think about it and convince myself I need it. AI is used is all around us whether we know
