Banned or Boosted? AI's Mixed Signals in Education and Work | Ep. 34
In this pre-recorded Thanksgiving episode of ChatEDU (Banned or Boosted? AI's Mixed Signals in Education and Work), Matt and Liz reflect on gratitude, share updates on their AI micro-credential program, and dive into a compelling trifecta of stories that highlight the evolving relationship between generative AI, education, and the workplace.
Getting Started:
Matt and Liz reconnect after a brief hiatus, reflecting on the podcast’s journey, their collaborative work, and appreciation for their listeners.
They share personal "thankful" moments related to generative AI:
Liz appreciates ChatGPT's practical value in productivity and daily tasks.
Matt highlights ElevenLabs Reader, with a nostalgic twist involving Jerry Garcia reading AI-related content.
The Big Three:
1. Honor Codes and Generative AI at Haverford and Bryn Mawr
These liberal arts colleges rely on longstanding honor codes to guide responsible AI use without imposing strict policies.
Students self-schedule exams and adhere to deep trust-based systems, avoiding widespread AI misuse.
Matt and Liz discuss whether such frameworks could be scaled to larger institutions with more diverse student populations.
2. The Massachusetts AI Lawsuit (please note - this was pre-recorded and Matt/Liz cover the lawsuit update in Episode 35 - December, 6th)
A Hingham High School student was disciplined for using generative AI to assist with a project, sparking a lawsuit over unclear AI policies.
Matt and Liz discuss the necessity for nuanced AI guidelines that clearly define appropriate use and emphasize proactive policy creation.
Insights include EdWeek and Common Sense Media data highlighting gaps in district-level AI policies and parent awareness.
3. Generative AI in Industry (Beneath the Surface)
A Wharton study reveals skyrocketing generative AI adoption in workplaces, particularly in HR and marketing.
Businesses struggle with measurable ROI but show promise with tools like real-time translation and custom bots.
Matt reflects on parallels between schools and businesses, emphasizing adaptable organizational cultures as the key to successful integration.
