What should the smart, AI-supported, classroom look like? We should of course continue to use AI in ways that have proven to be effective, such as in supporting deliberate practice with AI-based tutoring software. Yet even with the expanding use of AI-based tutoring systems, difficult and enduring challenges in the educational system remain, such as large opportunity gaps between different population segments. To create a smarter classroom, it will help to redesign the role of humans and AI in the educational system, enhancing both, in a way that is maximally synergistic. AI could support more humans in a wider range of roles as they facilitate learning: students, teachers, tutors, and parents could all, with the help of AI, assist students. Some of these forms of AI-based support have been shown to be successful in research studies and are beginning to transition into educational practice. Other forms are just beginning to be addressed by researchers. Human-centered design will be key to harnessing human-AI synergy. I will illustrate progress and opportunities with examples from my own, and others’ research.
Philosophers who deal with practical questions, such as the extent to which the application of AI or machine learning poses a societal challenge that may justify restrictions, face the problem of how to justify their judgements. This raises fundamental questions: What is the specific ethical expertise? What roles do ethicists play in the public discourse? What methods are used and what role do classical ethical conceptions such as utilitarianism and deontological approaches play? What role do mid-level principles play?
On the one hand, the workshop will present case-related considerations that are set against the background of these methodological considerations. On the other hand, problems of science communication and methodological questions in general will be discussed in open sessions.
Susanne Hahn invited the following guests and their respective topics to the workshop which takes place on the 14th and 15th of April 2023:
