AI in Education: Artificial intelligence is changing how we learn and teach. This talk looks at how students and instructors are using AI today, what it does well, and where it falls short. Using examples from astronomy, including automated feedback on student writing and an AI-powered question-and-answer tool, we’ll explore what these technologies can (and can’t) tell us about the future of education.
Speaker: Ann Zabludoff, Professor, Department of Astronomy, Astronomer, Steward Observatory
AI systems now pass the classical Turing Test for machine intelligence, but are they actually intelligent? Will human intelligence remain key to making scientific discoveries in the future? This talk explores how astronomers currently use AI and how it must change to become a real partner in discovery.
