#PaiRED: We Need to Redesign Education
The difficulty of writing about dramatic change in the midst of it occurring is that the very drama of the effects unleashed by the change will be mistaken for what the future will become. —Kent Spreckelmeyer
Smart bots, agents and vocally activated technologies are everywhere. Some good, some not so good but always more prevalent and getting better. These devices are helping hire babysitters and acting as lawyers. They are and will continue to take the jobs they can take. They present a massive impact on jobs, the workplace and employment. Although they offer the potential of opening up new positions and roles, what and how this will all play out has yet to be determined. Undoubtable there will be upheaval and redefinition of workplace. Certainly, it is the agile workplace that will have the best chance of surviving and thriving into the future. It will also disrupt education. Big time.
The evolution of AI has been an interesting exploration in discovery. AI generally takes on many areas of human capabilities including knowledge representation and articulation, learning and adaption, deliberate planning and acting, speech and language processing, image understanding, manipulation and locomotion, robotics, multi-agent systems, cognitive modeling and mathematical functions
The practical applications of AI continue to expand every year. Fueled by the incremental availability of digital data in all fields of endeavor, models of process and processing have caused major shifts in linguistics, psychology, philosophy and organizational theory. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI activated technologies have found their way to help desks, consumer service websites and service centers. These technologies are having immediate commercial impact. The new systems learn quickly from experiences and adapt to changes in the new environment. To interact with human collaborators these systems must be able to engage in dialogue and model rationality. Robots, chatbots, and vocally activated smartbots are all examples of the continuing evolution of integrating computer interactions to support human life. the extension of this will be the network of AI processes and objects interacting, refining, and learning our human habits and needs and anticipating and acting on them. AI is coming to education. Not just through students using to do their assignments and teachers using it to create them. It is coming to shake up institutions that have been around for a long time and done things a certain way. This has to change. The core of what we call education and how we educate has to shift. Unfortunately, it is not going to be painless and it is not going to be easy…
