My first interaction with Google's Bard AI tool.
I am not sure if this link to the Bard page will work. You might have to be "approved" by Google, but you could try: https://bard.google.com/

​Khan Academy is a non-profit offering education tools at no cost. AI will change the way some educational content is delivered.

Here is Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy, talking about the integration of GPT-4.

"Harnessing GPT-4 so that all students benefit. A nonprofit approach for equal access" March 14, 2023.

I fully support the creation of educational tools that are accessible to all . . . that have no cost. The only limitation is access to the Internet. There are millions who cannot afford college who can benefit from the merger of resources like Khan Academy with AI tools like GPT-4.

ResearchRabbit - A Potential Literature Review Tool

3/4/2023

0 Comments

 
I have found a new AI tool that might help with organizing research literature. The application is called ResearchRabbit. 

I defended my dissertation in April 2022 and graduated the following June. My research was a qualitative study of students', instructors, and administrators, use of and views of experiential learning pedagogies. I did not know about Research Rabbit when I was working on this.

When I recently learned about ResearchRabbit, I put a bunch (scientific term) of literature and authors relating to experiential learning (e.g., Dewey, Kolb, Lewin, Lave, Wenger, ad nauseum) into Research Rabbit to see what it would do. You can see a screenshot of the results here. 

The website is: https://www.researchrabbit.ai/

"Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence" (MIT, March 2, 2023)

3/3/2023

Quantitative study: a pre-publication March 2,2023, quantitative study article on the subject of: Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence.

Abstract:

We examine the productivity effects of a generative artificial intelligence technology—the assistive chatbot ChatGPT—in the context of mid-level professional writing tasks. In a preregistered online experiment, we assign occupation-specific, incentivized writing tasks to 444 college-educated professionals, and randomly expose half of them to ChatGPT.
Our results show that ChatGPT substantially raises average productivity: time taken decreases by 0.8 SDs and output quality rises by 0.4 SDs. Inequality between workers decreases, as ChatGPT compresses the productivity distribution by benefiting low-ability workers more. ChatGPT mostly substitutes for worker effort rather than complementing worker skills, and restructures tasks towards idea-generation and editing and away from rough-drafting. Exposure to ChatGPT increases job satisfaction and self-efficacy and heightens both concern and excitement about automation technologies.
