The Digital Teacher: AI in Education

AI revolutionising modern education. AI algorithms and educational robots are now integral to learning management and training systems, providing support for a wide array of teaching and learning activities. For example, chatbots that can provide personalised feedback, LLMs dedicated towards grading examinations to even AI teachers. The applications of AI are rapidly evolving, reshaping the overall teaching and learning landscape. The advent of AI technologies has introduced further opportunities, attracting significant investment into the AI in education industry.

Despite the allure, there are several drawbacks, such as academic misconduct from using chatbots to take examinations, reduced human interaction and creativity since information is directly summarised and collated, bias towards anyone outside of what the algorithm deems as a normal user and privacy concerns to name a few.

This event aims to further investigate these topics by asking a 5-person panel six thought provoking questions to discuss. It will be run semi-formally where we encourage an open conversation between panellists and the audience. You can find the most recent Hot Topics event on the IET YouTube channel to give you a better idea on how the event will be run.

As this is a free event run by the London Network Young Professionals volunteering group with food and drinks provided, please book early as tickets tend to go quickly.
