“He is very innovative”, “This professor writes on the black board!”. Initially radio hosts Parag Gupta and Jean-Paul Linnartz invited award-winning TU/e teacher Oded Raz for his view on the use of artificial intelligence in education. Oded is not only a columnist  for the Eindhoven University of Technology opinion magazine Cursus, he also is thought leader on education in his own series of podcasts and a vocal member of electrical engineering teaching staff. He has a right to speak up: student highly appreciate his style and his approach to educating.

 

Yet, instead of diving straight into the role of AI in education, for better or for worse, Oded reveals that he is skeptical about modern aids such as powerpoint. He recently rediscovered how students learn more if a teacher develops the thoughts, the math, the ideas step by step, live on the board. So, in this podcast we start off by looking in more detail into how our brain absorbs knowledge. An essential part of mastering a topic is to be able to actively use the theory, and apply it both in routine and in novel ways. Making homework assignments really serves a purpose. Letting AI do homework for you, may come with unpleasant surprises during the exam.

 

But, should we be scared about a future  generation of engineers who know more about how to use AI than about their technical field? Do we need to know about the details of processing inside micro-electronic IC’s to help create better smart phone, or to design an autonomous car? Haven’t we continuously raised the level of abstraction at which we look into systems?

Understanding Power Dynamics in AI with Mahault Albarracin.

Join Podcasts 4 Brainport host Iman Mossavat in conversation with Mahault Albarracin, Director of Applied Research. Mahault is also a PhD candidate in the Department of Computing at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The conversation took place following her hybrid talk at the Technical University of Eindhoven (TUE), organized by "HumAIn Dialogues" and "Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI)" on April 25, 2024.

Mahault Albarracin shares insights from her unconventional career journey, spanning social sciences to cognitive computing, shaping her perspective on cognition and technology. Mahault highlights how AI's design often prioritizes objectives such as maximizing efficiency, profit generation, or fulfilling predetermined goals set by those in power. These objectives significantly influence the development and societal impact of AI technologies.



AI will change the distribution of power in a new world order. Mahault Albarracin indicates that AI may expand the gap between haves and have-nots.
