When teachers are first exposed to generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, it’s easy for them to identify potential concerns. Will the AI do all the work for students? Will students use it to cheat? Will students lose the ability to be creative and think critically because the AI can do those things for them? Our guest, Carl Hooker, believes we can strike the proper balance and keep the human at the heart of learning, even with AI in the equation. He says, “I like the idea of keeping the human in the center. AI is the assistant. AI is the feedback. AI is the tutor, the thought partner, but it’s not the learner. The learner is still the most important part.” He adds, “Human compassion will never surpass artificial intelligence.” Join us as we talk to Carl about his new book, Learning Evolution: The New Era of AI in the Classroom, and explore practical ways that students, teachers, and systems can adapt to the changes brought to the learning process by AI. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
