Is AI bad? Why Oxford's AI education hub is vital for Filipinos When I received a letter of invitation to Oxford related to the program on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology I had been building for years, I could not actually believe it. I cried.

@carlaaerts.bsky.social makes the case for the 'gardening' approach to #AIEd rather than 'carpentry'

Thought provoking as ever, and I was really chuffed to spend some time talking with this super smart edtech guru at lunch!

Thx to @ai-e-ou.bsky.social @sararatner.bsky.social for hosting us all.

The Future English Language Classroom: Human-Centred, Powered By AI AI-powered tools are already entering the classroom, offering new possibilities for assessment, feedback, and differentiation.

Was an interesting exercise to imagine the future and what AI-augmented English language classrooms could look like.

Friend, tutor, doctor, lover: why AI systems need different rules for different roles What we want from AI systems depends on the kind of relationships they are trying to simulate.

'As AI becomes more embedded in our social fabric, we need nuanced frameworks that recognise the unique nature of human-AI relationships.'

The @uehiro.ox.ac.uk's Dr Brian D Earp co-writes this article ⬇️

Always a delight to walk through the gates and into the gardens at Worcester College, Oxford. Yesterday I was there to present at a conference so a slightly different experience.
