Missoula, Mt (KGVO-AM NEW) – In my many conversations with people involved in public education, the subject of AI (artificial intelligence) came to the avant-garde of parents and laymen, on how to manage this amazing and sometimes intimidating technology.
I spoke with Jason Neiper, executive director of the Montana Digital Academy On the UM campus, on the quick climb of the AI.
Jason Neifer with Montana Digital Academy comments AI
“Artificial intelligence has been a term that has existed for almost a century now, and the main thing is that it has had an impact on our world for decades,” started Neiper. “20 years ago, when social media became a phenomenon that began to have an impact on our culture, many of these tools used a form of artificial intelligence to help determine what you see and to what extent your messages could go on social networks.”
Neiper said that advanced tools are needed to get involved and succeed in today's world.
Neiff said that artificial intelligence is rapidly growing technology
“What we know with centuries of learning science and brain learning is that to develop the types of reflection skills that I think you have to survive in the modern world, you have to get involved with information,” he said. “You must create outings, whether your writing or your word or video, or a podcast, that the learning process is quite complicated and forces you to engage with information.”
A common fear among parents is that their children simply look at AI to do their homework or write their documents in the long term. Neiff replied.
“Even if I regularly engage with AI and have become a little a leader in the space of how we will integrate them into classrooms, I have these fears myself,” he said. “My own practical knowledge in class teaching and as a administrator in a school tell me that even if students can be able to do their homework with an AI tool, this certainly does not mean that we must allow them or not be worried if that is all they do with the information we attribute as duties.”
Neiff said that AI will be a challenge for schools and at home
Neiff has recognized the challenge of using such a powerful tool as both in class and at home.
“It starts with teachers who are starting to explore these tools themselves, and even if they do not use a single AI tool with students, I think there are really interesting and amazing things that teachers can use these tools for this not only gives them a state of mind, as understanding the functioning of the tool, but more important to compromise the learning environment. »»
Neiper encourages parents to learn as much as they can on the learning environment of their child and to contact their child teachers to get a better understanding of artificial intelligence.
