Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools suddenly popped out of high-tech labs and into the mainstream in 2023 with the arrival of ChatGPT and other similar engines. The impact on all the stakeholders in education — policymakers, educators and students — is immense. AI can now write papers and give answers on almost any topic. It has placed educators in a dilemma: to embrace AI or not to embrace?
How can we use these new tools, which are rapidly evolving and gathering pace, in our schools and colleges? What are some of the issues and challenges to ensure responsible use of AI in teaching and learning?
Join this Dialogue featuring a panel of experts who will address these issues.
