Al catches up with Matthew Woodruff, who works on Open Educational AI, to discuss the benefits and challenges of AI in education.
Matthew highlights that while Generative AI (Gen AI) has received a lot of attention recently, it is important to focus on the bigger picture of how data can be effectively captured, collected and analyzed for educational purposes. He emphasizes that AI should be used ethically and transparently, and that human agency should be maintained.
One of the key challenges discussed is that Gen AI, if fed with unstructured data sources, can lead to inaccurate results. They discuss Open Educational AI (OEAI) as a solution. OEAI is a collaborative effort that aims to reduce costs and implementation time for AI in education. It leverages existing data and frameworks, allowing educators to focus on the educational use and not worry about the underlying technology.
