What if AI could level the playing field in higher education? This episode of Trending in Education explores that very question with Cecilia Marshall, Chief Advancement Officer at Ed Advancement. Host Mike Palmer and Marshall delve into the complex and compelling potential of AI, focusing on its impact on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other institutions serving under-resourced students. Marshall, whose journey winds from corporate advertising to the heart of educational advocacy, shares Ed Advancement's vital work: strengthening mission-driven colleges to fuel social mobility. The conversation moves beyond the hype surrounding AI to address the crucial need for ethical implementation, data sovereignty, and genuine collaboration with students and schools. We discover how AI enablement—building robust data infrastructure—can unlock personalized learning, streamline advising, and ultimately drive student success. Marshall doesn't shy away from the challenges: algorithmic bias, the digital divide, and the ever-present need for AI literacy. This isn't just a discussion about technology; it's a story about equity, access, and the future of learning. Key Takeaways: AI enablement, focusing on data governance, is essential for leveraging AI tools. AI has the potential to create personalized pathways for students, improving advising and career planning. Addressing the ethical implications of AI, including bias, is crucial for equitable implementation. AI can potentially close the divide between well-resourced and under-resourced institutions. Institutions need to prioritize AI literacy and dexterity for both students and staff. Subscribe to Trending in Education wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textSpring is here—and so is our new weekly podcast format! We're now alternating between fun episodes for kids and a new segment, “AI Kids Scoop,” where we break down what's happening in AI and education.After a recent trip to Seoul, I saw just how powerful AI can be—using ChatGPT to plan, Google Lens to read menus, and Translate to chat with locals. It's a reminder that AI is here now, and our kids need to learn how to use it wisely.Our inaugural AI Kids Scoop covers groundbreaking developments in the AI education landscape. Google recently announced Gemini AI access for children under 13 through supervised accounts, while governments worldwide are racing to implement AI literacy programs. The US President signed an executive order advancing AI education, China mandated annual AI classes for all students, and the UAE plans to introduce AI concepts to children as young as four years old.The private sector is responding with innovative offerings like Blue Whale AI Academy's summer camp for ages 5-12 and Buddy AI's language learning app designed specifically for children. Perhaps most fascinating is ABii, an AI-powered robot from the University of South Carolina that uses facial recognition to provide "empathetic tutoring" tailored to students' emotional states.While these developments are exciting, we emphasize the continued importance of adult supervision, critical thinking, and creativity.

Alois und Oliver diskutieren in ihrer neuesten Podcast-Folge ohne Gast über aktuelle Entwicklungen in der KI- und Tech-Welt. Zentrale Themen sind geopolitische Verwerfungen, massive Investitionsprojekte und ihre Konsequenzen für die KI-Infrastruktur, insbesondere im Vergleich zwischen den USA und Europa.Kernaussagen:US-Milliardenwette wankt: Großprojekte wie „Stargate“ (nicht der Film) stehen aufgrund wirtschaftlicher Unsicherheit, Börsenturbulenzen und überhöhter Erwartungen unter Druck. Die Ankündigungen waren laut Alois oft eher Show als Substanz.Europa pragmatischer – und langfristig stärker? Während die USA mit „brute force“ Milliarden investieren, verfolgt Europa mit Programmen wie Gigafactories, der KI-Agenda und Initiativen wie Mistral oder Euro-LLM eine kleinteiligere, nachhaltigere Strategie. Auch Investoren aus z. B. den Emiraten spielen dabei eine Rolle.Nicht alles braucht ein Foundation Model: Neben OpenAI und Co. gibt es in Europa spezifische Modelle und Use Cases (z. B. Black Forest Labs, Flux), die mit domänenspezifischer Expertise punkten. Smarte, spezialisierte KI („Smartforce statt Brute Force“) wird als tragfähiger Pfad gesehen – vor allem im naturwissenschaftlichen und industriellen Umfeld.Prompting wird Commodity: Die Fähigkeit zu prompten war anfangs entscheidend, wird aber durch „Interpreter-Modelle“, die Kontexte besser verstehen, immer weniger wichtig. In Zukunft könnte das Modell die Intention des Users fast empathisch erfassen.Kreativindustrie im Umbruch: KI-generierte Inhalte (Bild, Musik, Text) erreichen ein Qualitätsniveau, das traditionelle Workflows massiv unter Druck setzt. Selbst komplexe Tool-Chains werden zunehmend durch integrierte Lösungen ersetzt.AI-Literacy ist Schlüssel: Trotz technologischem Fortschritt ist die breite Nutzung noch oft spielerisch statt produktiv. Ein echter Hebel liegt im Mindset-Shift und der Integration von KI in Arbeitsroutinen – nicht nur als Gimmick, sondern als Werkzeug.Fazit:Die Diskussion ist ein realistischer Blick auf das Spannungsfeld zwischen Größenwahn, geopolitischen Interessen und nachhaltiger Technologieentwicklung. Europa hat Chancen, wenn es bei Pragmatismus, Spezialisierung und resilienter Infrastruktur bleibt.

The ADAPT Research Ireland Centre at Dublin City University (DCU), in partnership with TU Dublin, has secured significant national funding to lead Ireland's first dedicated AI literacy campaign for older adults. Backed by the Research Ireland Discover Programme, the 'Age-Friendly AI': Ireland's National Artificial Intelligence Literacy Initiative will engage over 60,000 older people across the country, ensuring their voices shape the future of artificial intelligence in Ireland. Building on ADAPT's award-winning public engagement programmes, such as #DiscussAI, this nationwide campaign will include citizen think-ins, co-creation workshops, public participation events, and a national roadshow. Through these initiatives, Age-Friendly AI aims to empower older adults to navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI, from understanding data privacy to recognising misinformation. Dr Emma Clarke, Engaged Research Lead at the ADAPT Research Centre, DCU, highlights the potential for societal impact: "Age-Friendly AI: Ireland's National Artificial Intelligence Literacy Initiative builds on the ADAPT Centre's track record in driving AI dialogue and literacy through its #DiscussAI programme. This new initiative will leverage ADAPT public engagement formats such as Citizens' Think-Ins to prioritise reaching communities often excluded from AI conversations, ensuring their ideas contribute to co-creating an AI literacy initiative that serves them. Taking a human-centred approach is vital for the positive societal impact of AI." The groundbreaking initiative responds to research indicating that while older adults see the benefits of AI in areas like health and mobility, they also express concerns about its complexity and risks. 'Age-Friendly AI' will work closely with trusted partners, including Age Action, Age Friendly Ireland, CSLinc, the Centre for Smart Ageing, Insight, the National Disability Authority, the RDI Hub, Senior Times, Workday, and evaluation partner Stickydot. "AI is rapidly changing our world, and it's crucial that older adults are not left behind," said Paula Kelly, the 'Age-Friendly AI' initiative lead at TU Dublin. "This initiative will ensure that older people have a voice in the development and use of AI, and will help to bridge the digital divide and create a more inclusive future." The 'Age-Friendly AI' initiative is led by researchers based in TU Dublin and the Education and Public Engagement (EPE) team at ADAPT in DCU and has been funded as part of Research Ireland's Discover Programme, which focuses on creating meaningful public engagement with STEM, emphasising collaboration with communities. The Discover programme seeks to drive innovation in STEM education and public engagement, contributing to Ireland's industry, enterprise and societal progress. The project was officially launched by Francis Brennan, Age Friendly Ireland Ambassador for Kerry, at TU Dublin on 27 March 2024.

In response, various governance frameworks have emerged across different jurisdictions to address the challenges posed by AI. Notably, the European Union's AI Act, which entered into force on 1 August 2024, stands out as the first legislation of its kind to introduce comprehensive rules governing the development and deployment of AI systems in the EU. However, understanding the complexities and nuances of this legislation remains a significant challenge.The Department of Innovation and Digitalisation in Law of the University of Vienna is therefore delighted to invite you to the first event in a series of three dedicated to exploring the implications, opportunities, and challenges presented by the AI Act. The event series is organised on the occasion of the launch of the books "EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act: A Commentary" and "AI Governance and Liability in Europe: A Primer" by Wolters Kluwer, edited by Ceyhun Necati Pehlivan, Nikolaus Forgó and Peggy Valcke. The first event of the series in Vienna will bring together leading experts, academics and policymakers in the field to discuss AI literacy measures and the governance structure under the AI Act. The next two events in Brussels and Madrid will be further dedicated to different aspects of the AI Act, providing a comprehensive overview of and encouraging diverse dialogue on the new regulatory framework for AI in the EU.Speakers: Link: https://id.univie.ac.at/news-und-events/detailansicht-news-und-events/news/untangling-the-eu-artificial-intelligence-act-ai-literacy-and-governance-1/
This episode was recorded live on stage at EDTECH WEEK in New York City. Like most edtech conferences, there were many conversations about the potential power that AI could play in student learning. Ours was a different kind of conversation. We brought together two experts who both expressed skepticism about the role AI should be playing in education today. While they agreed on many things, there is a highly productive disagreement around whether or not we should be actively teaching AI literacy (or “readiness”) to students in grades K-12.Alex Kotran is the CEO of The AI Education Project (AI Edu), a non-profit devoted to making sure that all students are ready to live, work, and thrive in a world where AI is everywhere. Previously, he was the Director of AI Ethics at H5, a pioneering AI company in the legal services sector.Benjamin Riley is the founder of Cognitive Resonance, a new venture dedicated to improving understanding of human cognition and generative AI. Previously, he founded and served as CEO of Deans for Impact, a nonprofit education organization working to improve teacher training through the use of cognitive science.This episode is moderated by The Disagreement's cohost and cofounder Catherine Cushenberry.Questions or comments about this episode?
