#AIAndStudents the @brookings.edu Centre for Universal Education AI and students: Findings from the Global Task Force on AI and Education report launch happening now. Curious, Intrigued and proud.

Discussing the art of the question, #mediation #ai #experience #screen #reality #thinking things through with Dr Allison Lester of ASU www.linkedin.com/posts/carlaa...

I had a ball recording this podcast with Dr Allison Lester, AI Literacy Professor and Action Research at ASU. Discussed experiencing of our world beyond the 'multi-faceted' lens of Art and lots of blue light and AI mediation. We had a wonderful time. www.linkedin.com/posts/alliso...

Off to the AIEOU first summit at Oxford University. I will be present a talk on Humanising the Algorithm, but not quite what it seems. Sowing some seeds based on writings by Alison Gopnik, Martha Nüssbaum and Rupert Wegerif towards AI in Education. #GenAI #AI #conference aieou.web.ox.ac.uk/events

UNESCO's Paris Digital Learning Week last week saw the publication of a multi-author global report and think piece mine on Challenging hyper-personalization: Towards (re-)socializing learning in human-to-human-to-machine dialogue.

The #polymath #festival is coming up and I'll be speaking on 26th August in a panel that makes me rather excited on "Towards an Interdisciplinary Education System". Big topic, but discussing this with Carl Gombrich and Ashish Jaiswal, it can't but be inspiring for all of us by The DaVinci Network

Still at London Edtech week. Discussing the AI evolutions in #education in its early days. #efficiency #retention #outcome and #learner renewed focus. Should have been there all along. Maria Spies highlights shifts of focus, triggered by #ai #genai

Reflections on a Keynote and the measure of it. #paradigmshift #assessment #keynote #reflection #genai #ai #learners #futures #education

Just finished my keynote a the e-AA conference and it seems to have been well-received. Thank you @ntoka.dev #ai #assessment #tech #dialogue #paradigmshift

The cracks in the reasoning capability claim or (over-)promise. Interesting research by Apple that exposes reasoning in these models may not be quite what it seems... #llms #genai #reasoning #claim #accuracy #neuralnetworks www.linkedin.com/posts/carlaa...

Podcast on joining the dots in #education and #learning in the age of #ai Great fun talking to Al Kingsley and Matt Jessop

This Brain Discovery Could Unlock AI’s Ability to See the Future. Reinforcement learning and rewards not just a question of instant gratification. #dopamine #reward #reinforcement #algorithm #planning #ai

We Are Free to Change the World: A Lesson in Love and Disobedience. If you are going to read one book this year, this should be the one. A Lesson for our time like no other. #book #philosopher #totalitarianism #freedom #humanity #thinking #questioning www.trainofthought.me/p/we-are-fre...

Over the past 2 days, I discussed the Education Futures with a great bunch of people in Cambridge - DEFI, beneficial to institutional & policy thinking. For a start we should consider weak (and not so weak) signals AI is already revealing engage in #anticipatory #thinking. #learning #ai #futures

A while back I posted this article on The Use of AI for Better Education: a response to Rebecca Wintrhop's Davos take-aways. Rebecca is co-author of the Disengaged Teen and Leads the Centre for Universal Education @brookings.edu #genai #neuroplasticity #cognitive #manipulation rb.gy/hu7jze

New substack post on @weinberger.org in conversation with Prof K. Werbach and some take-aways and my interpretation of them. Not representing the podcast. My thoughts in response to Accountable AI: Deeper Implications. shorturl.at/pBHhU #ml #genai #implications #thinking #shaping #human #learning

The AI generation: Balancing technology and socialization in education. Fascinating session with variety of perspectives for reflection. www.brookings.edu/events/the-a... @brookings.edu #ai #companions #anthropomorphication #mentalhealth #relationships

Me and Kevin Werbach talking about AI. I like and respect Kevin in equal measure, which is a lot. Plus, a cold gave me a super bass voice, so I sound especially authoritative, don't I? DON'T I???

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social heard your discussion with that wonderful Mr Stewart on the trans debate. Unbelievable the bandwidth this is taking up. But thank you for the response to it during The Rest is Politics. Some common sense prevailing. #trans #policy #debate #polarisation

I went into a bit of a mental and philosphical perusal, being somewhat intrigued by 'reality' and how we perceive it. Wrote a very short essay on my perusals. For those interested. #philosophy #genAi #metaphysics #ancientgreeks #dialogue #modernphilosophers #thinking #ontology shorturl.at/G765f

Article on AI and its WEIRD impact on education on Substack. #ai #genai #weird #learning #teaching #education

My Substack post on The Art of the Question resulted from discussions in New Brunswick that led to some further thinking, on the importance of questioning in the age of AI. #GenAI #education #policy #questioning #reasoning #thought

Spent a few days in New Brunswick talking to politicians, policy makers, education leadership and educators. Francophone and Anglophone. Some findings and afterthoughts. #GenAI #AI #education #learning #teaching #policy #firstnations

The WEIRDness of AI and its impact on inequality and inequity in education, favouring a 'thin slice of humanity' whilst leaving the majority out. #ai #GenAI #WEIRD #inequality #education #amplification #responsibleAI #inclusion #culturalrelevance

If only one reading one article on tech innovation this week. This is the one. The hard concept of care in tech innovation by Andrew Maynard Inspired by amongst others, the amazing Alison Gopnik and for me resonating with @weinberger.org views on care and ethics of #ai #innovation #tech #care

Dark day for a very troubled world.

What we witnessed yesterday is not only darkness for Europe, but for the world. #populism #worldorder #manipulation #worryingtimes #geopolitics #extremism

Off to Riyadh joining #creators #innovators and #leaders #shapingthefuture

Demise of the humanities, its acceleration through lay-offs at universities. Fundamental for society as Dr Mona Siddiqui, Prof Islamic & Interreligious Studies University of Edinburg, highlights in BBC's Radio 4 Today Thought for the day #humanities #society #university #demise #societalerosion

Even more of their developers. This is an issue for AI and the world. Not to mention white male.

Posted a response to Rebecca Winthrop at Brookings Institution's Centre for Universal Education on her Davos takeaways. My response focusing on Neuroplasticity and the introduction of AI in the classroom, requiring a shift in education. #AI #wef #davos #neuroplasticity #learning #education #GenAI

Curve ball. How quickly things change, tumble and become even more chaotic. Uncertainty where we are heading not decreasing.. #genAI #LLMs #AGI #opensource #uncertainty #ai #nostoppingthem

Is it what we want? The rise of the avatar. I'm not even sure we should be using the word, taking it out of its original essence and being. That however, is another topic of discussion. A little read by Charles McIntyre at IBIS capital in the X Report #avatar #AI #communicate #real

LEAP upon us in a few weeks. Will be talking about things #virtual #ai #genai #education #future #learning and our place as humans in a world of new collective intelligence and increasingly blurring #realities. #LEAP25 #DeepFest25.

For #Bluesky to be a true alternative to #X and #Elon,, it needs to let us #federate our data and our presence rather than Bsky controlling it. So I just contributed to FreeOurFeeds.com created by heroes of the open Net. freeourfeeds.com #WhatWouldAaronDo?

2025 will likely be another brutal year of failed startups, data suggests

Finally time to engage as another year of turmoil is upon us. Struck by the continuum of #AI noise & relentless #revolution. More to follow. I ponder of the increasing blurring of #realities in which we #learn & #experience, growing our distance from our #organic #nature and #device less #immersion

What new ensembles bring to classical music. A difference. We need more of them. London's 12 ensemble for those interested in young performers who bring new dynamic and energy to the world of classical music #classicalmusic #performers #ensembles #reinterpretation www.the12ensemble.com/the-ensemble

In the age of AI, this is very welcome and critical. Given Philosophy a central space. The Cosmos Institute Oxford. #ai #philosophy #institute #Oxford check it out.

Why is this so difficult?

The boundaries of #classicalmusic. Shifting, stretching... removed? The Manchester Collective are doing all of it and more. Intrigued? Intro sample here. #innovation #beyondtheexpected
