Practical Guide to AI in the Classroom

So, you want to teach your students about AI. But it’s hard to know how to teach them, or what to teach them, when it feels like the landscape is changing minute-by-minute, when there are continuous astounding breakthroughs (if you believe the tech news), and in general it seems like a full time job to keep up! 

Well, teacher, friend, colleague - welcome home. Take a deep breath. This workshop is for you.

Dr Linda McIver, Author, Educator, and Founder and CEO of the Australian Data Science Education Institute is here to give you the lowdown on all things AI. We will cover the following topics, and there will be plenty of opportunity to contribute and ask questions:

What is Artificial Intelligence? What is Artificial General Intelligence?

What are Large Language Models (LLMS) and Chatbots and how do they work?

Are they Intelligent?

What can AI do?

What can't AI do?
