Senior Researcher Chris Dede isn't overly worried about growing concerns over generative artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, in education. As a longtime researcher on emerging technologies, he's seen many decades where new technologies promised to upend the field. Instead, Dede says artificial intelligence requires educators to get smarter about how they teach in order to truly take advantage of what AI has to offer.“The trick about AI is that to get it, we need to change what we're educating people for because if you educate people for what AI does well, you're just preparing them to lose to AI. But if you educate them for what AI can't do, then you've got IA [Intelligence Augmentation],” he says. Dede, the associate director of research for the National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education, says AI raises the bar and it has the power to significantly impact learning in powerful ways.
In this episode of the Harvard EdCast, Dede talks about how the field of education needs to evolve and get smarter, in order to work with — not against — artificial intelligence.
