I’ve not been on in a while. Been busy publishing our #GAI competency framework for professional workers. It is set to change the way we train our workforce in the UK in the use of AI at work.

Yes. This. All comes back to assessment.

Yes. “Thinking” is a metaphor for algorithmic processing and “guessing” the most likely pixels to follow.
It’s not human thinking. Never was.

Slide of AI use in Assessment from Jisc conference

Slide of AI use in Assessment from Jisc conference

Confirming what we already know @bpp-gai.bsky.social.
AI detection doesn’t work
Staff cannot detect AI reliably
You cannot train people to spot AI
AI can do (many) assessments.

Embracing AI into assessment is way forwards.

We have seen the depreciation of GPT plugins as Open Ai remove them. Will GoogleNotebook LM go the same way? It raised the challenge of reliance on tools that we have not control over and could disappear at any time.

Kicking off the @jisc.bsky.social winter conference on AI in HE with a recap of the year from the director of AI.
Interesting to see how far we have come in just 12 months.

Heading to London (never ‘that London’!) for a #JISC conference on AI in HE. Always interesting. I hope to connect with other future thinkers. Come find me. @jisc.bsky.social

that we can travel to distant galaxy’s or even time travel, or that everyone confirms to traditional ideas of beauty… etc.
no different to feeding it literature really, but somehow feels more ‘deceptive’ and therefore worrying.

What I’m interested in is how the video it generates & the source video it trains on could have large amounts of CGI already in it, therefore creating a completely false view of the world for AGI. The AI may actually think we regularly get invaded by aliens, that all American homes are huge, 1/2

Leaders, don’t model being the first one in and the last one out; model leaving at a reasonable hour to exercise, spend time with family, relax, think. Model not working at weekends. Model not checking emails on leave. Model rest. Model healthy relationships with work

I’ve recently bought a heated body warmer. Game changer.

(For the record, it’s not and never will be called a gillet).

Book. Title: using generative AI effectively in higher education.

This arrived today and I wanted to read it more out of curiosity than necessity as the work we already do @bpp-gai.bsky.social is advancing so rapidly.

However, it was nice to read & I’m already nearly half way through.

A fab chapter on how GAI can help students with English as a 2nd Lang. CH4.

Work from home was a boon to productive workers and an absolute catastrophe for the group of middle managers and executives who make their living putting their names on other people's work and that latter group started to undermine it as soon as they realized this.
