14 - Introducing Social Work students to generative AI

Pi is a generative AI from Inflection, promoted as a personal AI assistant with an emphasis on thoughtful conversation. In this conversation I speak to Rowena about her experience of introducing her second year Social Work apprenticeship students to generative AI. Rowena wanted to use Pi to support students' reflections, with varying degrees of success. We also talked about using Claude as alternative, as I've always had good outcomes using Claude for personas. I love that colleagues in the school are starting to experiment with AI in the classroom, in ways that go far beyond simply using them to write content.
