Research Update - 31st May 2024

Honestly folks, we've been trying to keep. We really have. But we have so much great content in the fortnightly (or is it bi-weekly?) interviews, that we've had to bite the bullet and switch to weekly podcasts, so that we can still fit in the Research Updates!

Going forwards you'll get a longer interview-style podcast once every two weeks, and a shorter 15-20 minute "Research Update" podcast every two weeks. Filling your Fridays with AI in Education podcast joy!

Here's the links to all the research papers discussed this week:

An MIT Exploration of Generative AI

https://mit-genai.pubpub.org/

MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - have just published a series of really interesting papers about the impact of generative AI on  a number of industries, and dive into the implications for society, education, human interaction and other areas. I actually think the whole set are interesting - and they're really easy to get - you can read them on the web, or get a PDF, an ebook, or even an audio book of every one!

 

We talked about the 3 education ones:
