In this episode, host Cynthia Yanof discusses AI (artificial intelligence) with TCA Chief Academic Officer Fran Legband and Director of Technology and STEM Lisa Wong.

 

Love it or fear it, AI is a game-changer, and it’s here to stay. Listen as Fran and Lisa explain the basics of how artificial intelligence works, including its potential benefits and its limitations. They talk about how AI can influence education and the way subjects are taught, such as focusing student work more on critical thinking skills that AI cannot replicate. They also explain how TCA is guarding against the use of AI-generated content in school assignments.

 

As an example of how this new technology is rapidly developing, ChatGPT’s capabilities changed soon after this episode was recorded. ChatGPT can now search the internet to answer prompts, which gives it access to more data.
