THE MOST IMPORTANT INFO IN ADVANCE: In this new podcast on artificial intelligence and human intelligence, renowned experts in the field of AI will be invited as guests to talk with Jan Söffner (Zeppelin University). The podcast makes a course of ten sessions available to a broader public. After an approximately 60-minute interview with the guest in part 1, part 2 is a 30-minute follow-up discussion and Q&A session with the students. For background information on the topic, just scroll down a little. _______________________________ IN THIS EPISODE: Today's guest in our Welle20 Studio: Larry Stapleton. A senior academic and international consultant in advanced information systems, organisational culture and business at Waterford Institute of Technology and founder of “Knew Futures” explains the recent developments in AI. _______________________________ CONTENT BACKGROUND OF THE PODCAST SEMINAR:"What is called thinking?" The question Martin Heidegger asked in his lecture of 1951/52 reads like a counter-question to the one Alan Turing had asked a year earlier in his essay Computing Machinery and Intelligence: "Can a machine think?“ Both ways of asking the same question are more relevant today than ever before. The attempt to define ‘thinking' by the Turing Test has sort of „programmed“ computer development in such a way that software seems to be able to perform more and more human thinking without having developed a consciousness or what Heidegger called a Da-Sein (being there). But is AI therefore really thinking? Or vice versa: Is the human consciousness still needed under these conditions? And what for?The course was dedicated to the comparison and interplay of artificial and human intelligence, addressing the latest theories and newest software solutions. It was designed as a podcast seminar to which proven experts in the field were invited. _______________________________ Enjoy listening to this episode!

Recently, we did an episode here on Great Ideas where we talked about some of the lessons learned during the pandemic about remote learning, hybrid schools, and school reopening. We talked about what worked what didn't and some of the problems that we encountered in trying to get "back" to school. But what if in our all out effort to get school going again, especially for our elementary age kids, we got focused on the wrong question? Even before the pandemic, progress on basic reading, science, and math scores had flattened. And those figures are far worse for kids in rural areas, Black kids, kids on Indian reservations, and most of all, for poor kids. The simple fact is that according to our best assessments, we are not getting the vast majority of our students to be even be proficient in basic skills. So amid the headlong rush to get back to what we were doing before, it seems reasonable to ask, are we rushing back to the right thing? Or is the right question really, how on earth can we do better by our kids? How can we move forward? That question has obsessed my guest today for his entire career. Dr. Benjamin Heuston is Executive Director of the Waterford Institute, a Utah-based not-for-profit that conducts early learning research and develops interactive education software aimed at kids in the pre-K-6 range. He believes that our fundamental way of educating young kids needs an upgrade, but also, encouragingly that it's do-able, and he has the evidence to prove it. ***Editor's Corection: the audio refers to Dr. Heuston as the CEO of the Waterford Institute, his former title. We regret the error.
