I don’t think that we should try to reach consensus in this forum but I have a rather different view. Perhaps it would he helpful to explain a little further. We were speaking loosely, so to be clear when I referred to AI, I meant generative AI. Perhaps you were speaking more broadly.

As philosopher David Lewis once wrote, calling…[Read more]

I did an informal poll of my students asking what they wanted their program of study to provide them regarding AI, and the ability to critically evaluate AI output was one of the top things that they reported wanting. This fining could probably be replicated more formally.

My main focus in my courses is on the idea that if students want…[Read more]

I am currently experimenting with Copilot to create a multi-step agentic workflow that can assist in reviewing students’ food logs, cross-checking nutrition analysis reports, and quickly verifying calculations, while keeping the instructor in the loop for final review.

I’m working on developing an tutor using the agent tool in Co-Pilot. I’m trying to work within Co-Pilot for obvious reasons, and it’s very basic for now.
