In this blog we explore the use of AI across a few very different sectors – Museums & Galleries, Recruitment, Air travel, and Banking. The purpose is to see how other sectors, each at their own stages of AI maturity, are innovating with the same types of AI tools which we are exploring the use […]
This year we are partnering with Student Voice to conduct a pilot evaluating their service which uses AI to provide analysis of student feedback for institutions. We are accepting expressions of interest to take part in this pilot until 10/03/2023. Please read through this post to find out whether this pilot could be the right […]
In our webinar before Christmas, we suggested that “A war between AI plagiarism detection software and generative AI won’t help anyone“ We want to share a quick example that shows why this might be the case. For this experiment, we are using GPTZeroX, which has recently been updated. Our aim isn’t to call out a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Legacy post: AI is a fast-moving technology and unfortunately this post now contains out-of-date information.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. […]
At the Jisc AI Team we’re piloting a number of promising AI solutions. As well as allowing us to evaluate different solutions, running these pilots gives us an opportunity to learn more about how to develop and deploy AI effectively. In this blog series – Chatbot Pilots: Learning Together – we want to give members […]
In this installment of the AI in Education: here and now series, we speak to Anthony Manny, Business Analytics Lead at The Universities and Admissions Centre (UAC), Australia, to find out how they are using AI to support and enhance the university admissions process. Could you tell us a bit about UAC? The Universities Admissions […]
