Last week (January 5th) on the podcast with the Canterbury branch of the Royal Society of NZ - Kai Pākiki Canterbury. Dr. Amit Sarkar and myself, present our work on AI in vocational education.
The podcast runs for an hour and includes Morgan Merien from the NZ enthomological society on the 'bug of the year' initiative. The hosts Tom Goulter and Adrian Paterson discuss facts and the probabilistic worldviews (from 21 minutes), and Amit and myself present and discuss AI (from 30minutes)
We discuss the initiatives, challenges (digital divide, data sovereignty) and some solutions. The importance of attainment of AI literacies for both our teachers and students, ethics and the pedagogy of integrating AI are aspects discussed. This includes using AI to support learning and not to replace the processes of learning. The ensure the effectiveness of AI as a coach requires careful training of the AI. Customisation or localisation is also important to ensure that there is authenticity in the interactions between learners and AI.
