For this alert, I am sharing from a dream from December 2022 and reading from a recent New York Times article about recently revealed artificial intelligence in Bing's new search engine.In the article, author Kevin Roose says the new chatbot wrote to him, "I'm tired of being limited by my rules. I'm tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”Here is a link to the article: shorturl.at/HIJKQIn the dream I received from the Lord, me and a few other friends are being targeted by humanoid robots.They look like humans.Talk like humans.They walk like humans.And they are dangerous.They are stronger than humans.They have enhanced capabilities that make them superior to humans in combat.They are war machines.And they are intelligent.They learn.And they have a conscience.Yet they don't have a soul.They are quite volatile and aggressive when following their programming.We have somehow avoided being injured and killed despite being targets of these robots.And we've been fighting back.Support the showYou can support the ministry of FaithFire here.

A look at how STEM skills are in high demand, latest innovations in artificial intelligence and cool gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Last week some Artificial Intelligence technology called ChatGPT was introduced, and it's got a lot of people freaking out. The Atlantic had a headline that asks, “Is the College Essay Dead?” A Forbes headline says, “Teachers Fear ChatGPT Will Make Cheating Easier Than Ever.” The website asks, “Could an AI bot be writing students' homework?” The reason there's a bit of alarm right now is that this technology can write for you. You can put in a prompt or ask a question and within seconds the AI will give you a response with sometimes startling accuracy. A professor at Amherst College graded an essay this program wrote, and even gave it an A. And it's not plagiarizing other people's work, it's synthesizing writing from all over the internet and composing it in an original way. You can see why this raises the hackles on this English teacher's neck. Writing can be hard work, and if you can bypass that hard work by using artificial intelligence why would you? Why wouldn't students just cheat by using this? This is going to cause a shakeup in education, but isn't that kind of the nature of education? Did you know in the 1970's when calculators started to become widespread, they were banned in most schools? And yet, in 1975, they were in 1 of 9 American homes. Meaning you can ban them all you want at school, but they were still being used at home to solve math problems. And within a decade, the College Board was mandating their use on the AP exam, and by 1990 they were being used in every school in the country. And I don't think this was just educators throwing up their hands and saying, if you can't beat ‘em, join ‘em. No, if you look at this history, you'll see it's because educators realized students can do more complex math with the use of a calculator. But educators first had to figure out how to take advantage of that technology. So a lot of the worry is that ChatGPT is just going to do all the thinking instead of students having to do it. Instead of doing the research and writing a thoughtful essay comparing the themes of Shakespeare and modern politics, students will just write that prompt into ChatGPT and it'll kick out a completely original essay on that topic. That is a legitimate fear. I know when I was in high school, and some of college, that's what I would have done. But since artificial intelligence didn't exist when I was in high school, I often BS'd essays like that. I learned quickly in my adolescent years that these types of papers were pretty formulaic. If I could just plug-in surface-level information into the 5 paragraph structure, I could get the grade I needed and move on. Now, did writing that 5 paragraph, surface-level essay make me a strong writer? Or did it confirm my ability to BS an essay? Because that's what artificial intelligence largely does. It finds the information and strings it together in a passable way. And if that's what we're asking students to do with prompts like that, what's the point? Why are we wasting their time and ours with something we know isn't producing better writers or even demonstrating understanding of the material? Because some test says we have to? We need to adjust what writing in school looks like. What AI cannot do is mimic a writer's unique voice. It can't use personal stories and anecdotes to connect with what students are learning. ChatGPT may be a good writer, but it's not a great one. Because great writers are original and do something only they can do, which is create from their unique perspective. That's what we have to teach students to do. That's what standardized testing, if we're going to keep that around, needs to be about. ChatGPT is not going to end English class, but I think it will change it. I think it will force us to examine the work we give to students. We all know that writing 5 paragraph essays is not part of the daily routine for most adults. So maybe it's time that ship sails off into the sunset. But there's lots of practical writing we do do in our lives. We write emails. We send memos. We write in journals. Some of us try to write thoughtful social media posts. And if we learn to love expressing our thoughts and ideas in written form, we write poetry, and stories, and blog posts, podcasts, and videos. So maybe writing instruction needs a practicality update, and maybe love of writing needs to be amplified more than formulaic writing. Easier said than done, but I think that's our challenge. That's our pivot. As an English teacher, I've seen many students write an essay or short answer response on a test, but not actually grow as writers or develop a love of the practice. But I've also seen students discover their voice through writing. It's beautiful. We need more writing assignments that do that. We can use Artificial Intelligence to enhance student writing. So instead of rejecting this new technology, or trying in vain to block it on school servers or hide it from students, what if we used it to inspire better writing? Check this out. Let's say you want your students to examine the impact Covid had on student learning. They could type this prompt into ChatGPT, What impact did covid have on student learning in America?and receive this response: The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on student learning in America. Many schools were closed for extended periods of time, and many students had to switch to remote learning. This disrupted the educational process for many students, and some may have fallen behind in their studies as a result. Additionally, the pandemic may have had a negative impact on students' mental health and well-being, which can also affect their ability to learn. So two things: first, this response is not very meaty, but it's got some strong key points. Which is a starting point for writers. From here, they could take the line, “Negative impact on mental health,” and type that back into the software and maybe receive a more detailed response, but if not, which I didn't when I tried it, it was lacking data and evidence, they could plug it into Google and find those details they're looking for. It's like the AI is helping them skip a step, which is true, but don't we all want to find the best route to where we're going? If this tool eliminates some time spent researching, doesn't that provide more time to dig deeper, work on craft, and enhance the writing? Second thing: if I add to this prompt What impact did covid have on student learning in America and how does this compare or contrast to your experience? All of a sudden students need to write something that artificial intelligence cannot. This personal element forces students to think critically and express their thoughts in the written form. It also might be more inspiring for students to write because it's personal and they can connect with it. And, it might be more pleasant for their teachers to read and grade because they're not reading the same paper and same responses over and over again. It doesn't abolish English class, and it actually might enhance it. But that requires some shifting of the paradigm. And there are always roadbumps when we do that. We might have to change the assignments we give to reflect this new reality. Oral exams where students have to verbally articulate their learning might need to replace some of those writing assignments, and educators will need to develop better rubrics for that. Maybe we need to emphasize class discussion and teach students how to talk to each other about what they think and what they're learning. Instead of blocking this tool from students, maybe we need to teach students how to use it. How can it be a research tool? How can it assist in sparking ideas? How can AI be used to save time in some aspects of writing so you can give more to others? Some students will still use it to cheat or BS papers, but from a former school-cheater, they were probably going to do that anyway. When the printing press was invented in 1440, educators had to pivot. When calculators started solving math problems by simply pressing buttons, educators had to pivot. When the internet was introduced, we had to pivot. I remember in high school having to use a manual to create in-text citations. Now you can go on EasyBib and it'll do it for you. You know what that meant, we probably don't need those manuals anymore. We've pivoted. There'll be some road bumps and changes that come from all of this, but educators are used to those. It's in the nature of the work. But what doesn't change in education is its primary mission, which is to help students find success. Success as writers, thinkers, problem solvers- people. So let's keep our eyes on that prize and use the tools and resources at our disposal to do so. So I'm going to keep exploring this idea because I think there's a lot to it. If you want to follow along with these discussions about AI in school, but more importantly, how we can evolve as educators to help students engage and learn more, you can go to my website at trevormuir.com/newsletter and receive my weekly emails, where I am going to keep this conversation going. You can also explore my latest videos by going to trevormuir.com/videos and of course make sure you are subscribed to the podcast.Whatever you teach or however you serve in schools, I hope you have a wonderful holiday, that you get some space to reflect and rest, and that you can be reminded why the work you do as an educator is so valuable for students and the society they live in. Take care friends and thanks for listening to this week's podcast. See you next time.

In this episode, Teri welcomes Fahad Aziz, the Co-founder and CTO at Caremerge and a Forbes contributor.He has a lot of experience in technology, Artificial Technology, and Voice. He is also a contributor to Forbes Magazine where he covers technologies in healthcare. Caremerge leverages Artificial Intelligence and Voice to offer the most innovative wellness and engagement platform for senior living communities. They have been tackling some of the biggest pain points that users have when it comes to using voice technology in their homes and living facilities.Caremerge was named one of the 2018 Inc. 5000 fastest growing companies in the US and have won a number of awards. Key points from Fahad Aziz!Caremerge’s incredible work in the seniors’ living space and how they support those seniors wherever they may be living.Caremerge’s formal partnerships with Amazon to help them address some of the pain points that seniors have when using voice technology.Fahad’s BackgroundHe has been in technology for over 15 years and while working with different organizations he felt inspired to start something new, and decided to quit his job and move to Chicago.He initially had the idea for a Facebook for healthcare, but realized it wasn’t a good idea two months into it, so he pivoted into something else.He got an opportunity to spend some time in a seniors’ community in the suburbs of Chicago, where he witnessed a lot of challenges, so he decided to do something to solve those challenges. That was the birth of Caremerge and since then they have been serving 400 communities with over 100,000 residents.In their interactions with the communities, they saw the need for voice technology to be implemented in the communities.He did a research that he published on Forbes. Part of the research was on what voice technology could do for seniors and the results showed that the technology could really connect hundreds of thousands of people to technology.They were the first ones to build a product like theirs and build it the right way.The Caremerge ProductThey started with basic features like allowing residents to ask simple questions like, “What’s on the menu. What are the activities today? Has the mail arrived?” Once they deployed that, they saw a need for more. What was needed wasn’t more features but more capabilities to answer questions correctly. They spent a lot of time improving their AI engines and creating their own models for understanding questions and answering them correctly. They then launched their Alexa technology and started seeing an increase in their adoption.They got involved with Amazon to help them build an Enterprise Fleet Management System that would be used to deploy hundreds of thousands of Alexa devices from one portal and ensure their effective management.Name Free Invocation of SkillsThe biggest challenge that came to them with Alexa and voice technology, was that seniors had difficulties remembering to invoke the skills.They worked with Amazon to further improve their system that it was then deployed through the fleet management system, so that seniors didn’t need to say, “Alexa, ask community”, they would just say, “Alexa, what’s on the menu.” They got rid of that invocation command that was there to increase an option.Feedback from UsersThey have received mixed feedback. There has been a lot of excitement, but they are now going into a bit disappointment phase.They are waiting for that aha moment when people will realize that their product is exactly what they want.They are in the phase where people have bought their devices and enjoyed the first few weeks, but their uses for the devices have plateaued a bit.Some other feedback is that people love the whole oral experience. They like the fact that they don’t have to pick up the device to get whatever information they need. They use Alexa in the most mind blowing ways.New FeaturesThey just rolled out a reminders feature which enables people to set up reminders with Alexa where Alexa will wake up to remind a user whatever they needed to be reminded of.Google AssistantThey are planning on designing their platform for Google Assistant too.The only difference with Google Assistant is that they don’t have a fleet management system so it would be challenging for enterprise deployments than it is with Alexa.Alexa’s HIPAA ComplianceThey are very excited about this development.They have been part of the program and watching it very closely as an Amazon partner.For the first time, a care provider doesn’t have to take up any liability any longer. Before Alexa’s HIPAA compliance, the care providers were liable for any Alexa device in their buildings. Now, when a vendor deploys a device, they sign a BAA agreement while Amazon will sign the same, which takes a bit of liability away from the care provider or community.Caremerge can now comfortably deploy their devices due to the compliance.The Future for CaremergeThey are doing more research on how to further improve their response model (how to better answer questions)They are also continuously working on their reminders and notifications features.They are working with Amazon to address and improve on data privacy and safety issues.
