AI+Education Summit: Generative AI for Education

The panel discussion held at Stanford HAI was focused on exploring the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. The experts present discussed the potential benefits and challenges of AI in education and shared their insights on the topic.


Rob Reich, the Moderator of the discussion, introduced the session by highlighting the decentralized nature of the American education system and the potential of AI to revolutionize education. He emphasized both the opportunities and difficulties in implementing widespread changes through AI. Reich's introduction set the tone for the discussion, emphasizing the need for a careful consideration of the role of AI in education.

One of the panelists, Percy Liang, expressed optimism about AI's role in education. He shared his insights on "foundation models" like ChatGPT, which can learn from vast amounts of data to perform various tasks. Liang discussed how AI can assist in generating educational content, providing feedback, and simulating student behavior for teacher training. He believes that AI could significantly enhance teaching and learning processes.

Another panelist, Dora Demszky, focused on using AI to support teachers and create engaging learning environments. She highlighted how generative AI can adapt teaching strategies and provide personalized feedback to improve teaching practices. Demszky provided examples of how AI can help create engaging learning environments, adapt teaching strategies, and provide personalized feedback to improve teaching practices.

Noah Goodman, the third panelist, shared insights on his personal experience with homeschooling during the pandemic. Goodman discussed the effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring and highlighted the potential of AI-driven tutoring systems that can adapt teaching methods from cognitive psychology to improve student learning outcomes. He also expressed concerns about the accuracy and effectiveness of AI tutoring systems.

Overall, the panelists agreed that AI in education offers significant transformative potential. However, they emphasized the need for careful consideration of ethical, practical, and technical challenges associated with implementing AI in education. They also emphasized that ongoing research, collaboration between educators and technologists, and careful implementation are necessary to ensure that AI tools support educational goals effectively.

Protecting Artists from AI Overreach: The Rise of Glaze and Nightshade

Protecting Artists from AI Overreach: The Rise of Glaze and Nightshade The Devastating Impact of Generative AI on Artists' Livelihoods In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, a troubling trend has emerged that poses a grave threat to the creative community - the unchecked use of generative AI models to replicate and exploit the unique styles and identities of artists. As Ben Zhao, a Neubauer professor of computer science at the University of Chicago, has witnessed firsthand, this phenomenon has had a devastating impact on the lives and livelihoods of countless artists. The problem lies in the ease with which these AI models can be trained on an artist's body of work, effectively "stealing" their unique style and identity. Once trained, these models can then be used to generate endless variations of the artist's style, often without their knowledge or consent. The result is a proliferation of AI-generated art that bears the artist's name

2023 ai4libraries Conference: AI and Ethics

The subject of artificial intelligence (AI) in academia has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. Dr. Jason Bernstein, an expert in this field, gave a thought-provoking presentation on the intersection of AI, ethics, and scholarly activities. In his talk, Dr. Bernstein delved into several key ethical concerns related to the use of AI in academic research. Firstly, data privacy and confidentiality are major issues that arise when dealing with AI systems. These systems often require extensive amounts of data to function effectively, which poses a threat to the privacy and confidentiality of the data used, particularly in scholarly research. Secondly, AI systems can exhibit bias if the data used to train them is not representative or is skewed toward certain demographics. This bias can affect the output and functionality of AI in academic research, potentially leading to discrimination, which is a serious ethical concern. Thirdly, AI systems can be very complex and their oper
