- Society & Culture
If you had a clone of yourself, what would you want it to do?
Professor Danny Liu pictures a classroom in the not-too-distant future where teachers work alongside AI ‘clones’ to help their students learn.
“It’s not about replacing them as teachers. It’s about empowering them and making them more effective.”
The role of artificial intelligence in education has been hotly debated, with concerns about cheating creating headlines. But what if we could harness regenerative AI to transform education for the better?
Danny Liu says AI can herald a new era of personalised learning, and he explains how he’s grappling with issues around student integrity and AI bias.
You’ll also go inside the classroom of Matthew Esterman at Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta to find out how he’s rethinking assessments in the digital age.
“It’s going to be a massive challenge for students to prove that work is their own in a world where you can press a button and have an assignment done for you.”
