There’s no doubt that GPT-3 and other generative AI models are hugely impressive. We have shown how it could write a reasonably good short essay in a previous blog post and shown how to explore its ability to generate impressive images another post. Impressive as they are, it’s important to understand the limitations of these […]
We firmly believe that artificial intelligence can transform education for the better. But we are also aware that for AI to be a force for good, it must be used in a responsible way. The environmental impacts of AI are hence of paramount importance. In this blog, we introduce some of the key issues around […]
In November 2022 we held a webinar to introduce our maturity model for AI for education. The webinar expanded on the concepts discussed in our blog post A Maturity Model for AI in Tertiary Education. This post is primarily for attendees of the webinar and aims to list the resources we mentioned. We’ve also included […]
Harnessing recent progresses in the area of deep learning and Natural Language Progressing (NLP), Warwick Business School (WBS) and the University of Warwick recently developed in-house the “AI Essay-Analyst”, an academic-writing-tool that provides students with around 15 pages of formative feedback following voluntary submission of students’ essays or dissertations. Dr. Isabel Fischer, Associate Professor (Reader) […]
Legacy post: AI is a fast-moving technology and unfortunately this post now contains out of date information. The post is now available just for those that need to reference older articles. We have a more recent post exploring image generation available here. Introduction Over the last few months, we have seen huge advances in the […]
Introduction There have recently been huge advances in the ability of AI to generate content. This includes the creation of text, images and computer code, through technologies such as GPT-3, DALLE-2 and Stable Diffusion. This has resulted in a new and growing field of tools that have the potential to disrupt assessment processes – both […]
Forward Today we have a guest blog post from one of Jisc’s data science apprentices, Eleni Apostolopoulou. It’s more technical than our usual posts, but we’ve seen a lot of interest in the detail of how exactly AI can be used with existing data to solve problems, so we thought it would good to share […]
Legacy post: AI is a fast-moving technology and so we have now published an updated version of this model. The post is now available just for those that need to reference older articles. Introduction One of the core aims for our Jisc AI Team is to help institutions along their journey to mature adoption of […]
Legacy post: AI is a fast-moving technology and unfortunately this post now contains out-of-date information. The post is now available just for those that need to reference older articles. We continue to produce new advice, guidance and training for the sector and will update this notice when a newer version of this resource becomes available. […]
Highlighting innovation AI is sometimes thought of as a futuristic technology, the impacts of which are far from imminent. In the tertiary education sector, however, this is definitely not the case. Many colleges and universities across the UK are currently harnessing AI to enhance teaching and learning, improve the student experience, and increase productivity – […]
