Join the College of Sciences for a thought-provoking conversation about the impact of AI on the educational world. Education will change more in the next five years than in the past 2000 years. This talk will describe how Al is being used today to generate customized lesson plans, animations, and simulations that are quickly contextualized to the needs of every student. By combining generative Al with a billion vertex knowledge graph, learning management systems will become personal tutors. We will also discuss how these changes will have a dramatic impact on higher education and give practical advice on how instructors can start to integrate these tools today into their classrooms.
