Elisabeth Sylvan PhD from Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society on the old and new challenges of AI for education. Example #GenerativeAI : „Starting an arms race is never a good idea; it is also not a good idea in the context of tech & education with our children“. We need ways to include these tools more effectively.

There are tremendous opportunities to implement personalized learning tools/material with the use of #AI . But at the same time, teachers, administrators, students, and policymakers in the #USA need to familiarize themselves with the new technology that develops rapidly. Elisabeth Sylvan PhD

Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked.

And what is lurking inside is egregious.
