Publishing an intro to generative AI is a challenge as things are moving so quickly. However, we think things have now settled down enough for us to bring together information in a single place, to create a short primer. This blog post will be updated as needed, and we have also produced a version as […]
Many people are aware of various AI tools and technologies but most of us aren’t aware of invisible workers involved in the production of AI. This blog post focuses on hidden labour involved in AI production. We aim to raise awareness and educate educational institutions about this important issue. Although research in this area is […]
Summary Bias can be defined as AI that is systematically unfair to certain groups of people The data that ChatGPT is trained on contains many forms of bias. OpenAI have tried to mitigate this by introducing human feedback in the training. This prevents some of the worse behaviour seen in previous chatbots such as Microsoft’s […]
Last week we hosted a webinar looking at how artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt student assessment. In this post we reflect on the event and share some of the ideas generated and questions asked. The topic certainly seems to be of wide interested, with over 130 attendees. We started with a quick poll […]
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 […]
Legacy post: AI is a fast-moving technology and unfortunately this post now contains out of date information.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 […]
