I like the choice of word here Mariana- versatility is a good way of conceptualising difference
-
This is a great point Claire. I expect some might see the lack of negative consequence for machines learning as a bad thing of itself but the point about fear of failure (and the ways in which our educational structures penalise failure which exacerbates this) is fundamental and reminds me that when we talk about implications of AI we are talking about all...

Martin Compton replied to Railene Barker
Yes, the essay as a focal point for what needs to chnage in assessment is intersting. I actually think there's a defintie role for essays and perhaps even a way to leverage this growing sense,as you say, for a neewed to reappraise assessment towards a different understand of how essasys are developed, overseen and assessed.

Hey Antonella! Good to 'see' you here!

Martin Compton replied to Saurabh Bhattacharya
Greetings back to your Saurabh!

Martin Compton replied to Rhoda O'Higgins
such an important area of research Rhoda- and so complex! so easy to see how these tech can simultaneously grow equity AND exacerbate iniquities!
-
Hi Nitheesh- welcome! One thing I feel is missing from much of the developments and debates is instructional material for lay audiences developed (or co-developed with) those with your sort of expertise. It's often too basic or too complex!
-
Martin Compton replied to Jane Lindley
this is a really good point!
-
Martin Compton replied to Danielle L
@DaveHarries Maybe it is romantic but if we can leverage AI as a way of finding some of that joy then great
-
exactly- the AI is not biased but the data is
-
@DaveHarries Great point and an issue I struggle with dave. Have you read the Slow Professor (Berg and Seeber)? I'd love to get to a position where I could allow myself time to think!
-
@EbenezerAjayi 100%
-
100% - the amount of time I have spent trying to get my brains cogs to turn towards new/ varied case studies!
-
Martin Compton replied to Desirée G
I agree
-
I think the key is experimentation as you are doing. Likely the first prompt worked better than then the next two?
-
amazing! love the video
-
:-)
-
I think there will always be that side to things - perhaps we really do need a new lanaguge to describe the different sorts of outputs
-
that's such a good point Clare- consideration of it as a new genre

Martin Compton replied to Alan Carter
Hi Alan- it's taken me a while to get to the latest postings...I hope you still have access! good to see you here

Martin Compton replied to Alison Torn
Hi Alison! good to see you here!

Martin Compton replied to Julia M
Hi Julia, yes, we have a few updates to do, mostly in terms of what things are called! The landscape and capabilities are moving fast but the underpinning ideas, tech and issues remain

Martin Compton replied to Siobhan Bygate
Hi Siobhan! welcome. Yes, big challenges but so important to be open to possibility!
-
Martin Compton replied to Emily Devenny
Hi Emily- yes, voiced over powerpoints do not get very good view figures! I like what my former colelague, Simon Gaisford, does on his pharmacy video channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b24Lj8HQch4- mostly short- talk to camera- interspersed with the odd demo or visual but mostly v good camera, warm blurry background , human connection and good quality mic

Martin Compton replied to Cássio Suski
Welcome Cássio!

Martin Compton replied to Bethany Moran
HI Beth- I have seen amazing examples of sketched web design used to create basic code for web pages- the design aspect still needs UX expertise and understanding though. I think it will certainky chnage workflows in that sort of work though
-
Martin Compton replied to Lee P
Hi Lee- really interesting point about recruitment strategies. I use these tools daily too- amazing how quickly I have found them to be so useful
-
Martin Compton replied to Maria Harffy
Hi Maria, welcome. That's an interesting use case- please let us know if you find a good way to achieve that

Martin Compton replied to Helen Rhodes
Hi Helen- one of the research projects we have under way is integrating Research Rabbit - "free forever" which is proving popular with some https://www.researchrabbit.ai/

Martin Compton replied to Erica Wilson
Welcome Erica- good to have you here- people in our sorts of roles are in a very intersting position , exactly as you describe! I just looked up Southern Cross as I have not encountered it before and the first thing I see on the map is 'Eltham' another of which is a mile or so from where I am now!
-
Martin Compton replied to Ione Geerts
Hi Ione- I think this kind of study is very valuable as it promotes a visceral connection and understanding that is very much needed right now
-
Martin Compton replied to Alice H
Hi Alice- I think the area of writing / reading AS learning is likely to be one of the big sticking points as well as an area with potential- I thinkm it'll be messy but from the mess will emerge interesting new ways of doing things....he says optimistically! Have you seen this:...

Martin Compton replied to Daryl Bull
Hi Daryl- yes, you are in the perfect job to witness first hand how machine learning will impact data collection, managment and analysis

Martin Compton replied to Mohammad Bashayreh
Hello Mohammed, in what ways are law firms using AI?
-
Martin Compton replied to Clare Cremin
Hi Clare- I don't think we touch on simulation placement in this course but I know Nursing are testing some AI simulation software and I have seen some incredible 'robot' mannikins at uni of greenwich simulation suite
-
Martin Compton replied to Martina M
Hi Martina, I think the idea of 'assisstant' is a critical one to both understand and promote with our students
-
Martin Compton replied to Jacob Lloyd
Hi Jacob- I feel as if those with language and translation expertise have had a bit longer to get to grips with core issues here given the amount of time google translate has been around. WQere people predicting the end of translation studies when it was released? Are you still confidently fighting fit as a discipline? What have been the major implications?

Martin Compton replied to Shanara Haque
Hi Shanara- future eduction sounds very much the right thing to be teaching!

Martin Compton replied to Ramesh Sharma
Hi Ramesh, Yes, I think there are all sorts of possibilities

Martin Compton replied to Laura Schwartz
Welcome, I'll be interested to read your paper on publication Laura
-
@RichardSharp oops! sorry!
-
Martin Compton replied to Lui Tam
@LuiTam Identifying inappropriate use is a minefield - pre-emptive approaches much better in my view.The issues with detectors (especially in terms of fals positives) mean that trust is undermined. Of course there are obvious inappropriate uses (students including revealing parts of generated outputs for example) but ultimately if the assessment has led to...
-
it's a novel and impossible situation I think in terms of conventional ways of crediting unless of course the case is being made to credit the prompt engineer
-
much of this probably depends on the tool you use. Midjourney is my go to but is no longer offering a free version and is a little fiddly to use. Have you tried copilot https://copilot.microsoft.com/ ?
-
Thnak you and, yes, for lack of an alternative, we do end up adding to the anthropormophising. I really like your thinking around democratisation and that analogy. I need to think on that!
-
no need to apologies for commenting- comment as much as you like. I do agree... I really value thinking time and yet...life/ stuff/ pressure/ stress often meansd I deny myself this and, when i do, I can feel guilty . not great really when I think about it!
-
This is an interesting case. A grant submission surely is about clarity over creativity? Is all the assistance one can get not best practice or is expression a criterion or a tacit proxy for something else? integrity...? communocation skills?

Martin Compton replied to David Harries
@DavidHarries this might be of interest David: https://youtu.be/yaCGVWvPHCI?si=YlaXfnC414Z2vMdB

Martin Compton replied to Kevin Walsh
Interesting position...resisting by engaging! Do you think it's possible to AI proof assessment?
-
Martin Compton replied to Cath Mortimer
great to have you here Cath- i'd love to know more about the nature of those queries and the types of folk they are coming from
-
Interesting! How well do you think metaphors derived from cognitive linguistics map onto our ways of seeing and understanding AI?
-
Welcome Mirza- what is your sense of how much 12-16 year olds are using these tools?
-
Martin Compton replied to David Hill
It'd be interesting to hear your perceptions on the different vibes in those different domains David (or if you think it's the same sort of vibe!)
-
Martin Compton replied to Togzhan Kurmanbek
We'll be interested to hear your thoughts Togzhan- do let us know if you have any thoughts/ findings / research summaries to share on this at king's

Martin Compton replied to Sofia Pit.
I'm afraid we don't have a 'download the course' option but you are free to copy paste!

we do in deed have quite extensive guidance at the central level and with a clear steer that this then needs to be localised https://www.kcl.ac.uk/about/strategy/learning-and-teaching/ai-guidance
-
@ElizabethCruzFlores Thank you so much- what a great boost on another gloomy day in January- I really appreciate it Elizabeth- Happy new year!
-
I am a huge fan of AI as assistive tech. If you compare, say, Blackboard Ally auto generated MP3 (robotic- lacking human touch as you say but still rerally valuable) with recent avatar and natural sounding voice from text do you see this as an important advancement or is this me missing the point about the human touch?

Hi Robert...on the 'are they new?' question you'll come across Mark Twain making a point about that later in the course

'emotional connection' - is that the thiung that will keep our outputs distinct?

your point really illustrates importance of dialogue as feedback and how anonymous submission and marking are a barrier to this , in my view
-
thanks Andy- I watched 'Leave The World Behind' this week and there's a scene whwere a character gets lost sans sat nav or phone to aid him- made me think of this depth of dependency
-
@BenjaminSoames we didn't mean to upset anyone but we did mean to be provocative. Robot of course has wider meaning than humanoid machine but of course we wanted to conjure that sort of image
-
how can we get across the idea that flawlessness is not a required or een desirable objective? photoshopped models might be a good metaphor
