Many thanks for the comments and messages following my post about the latest Skinny and my thoughts about SEND - I will respond to all of you and look forward to discussing this important topic. Here I want to highlight another issue from The Skinny https://lnkd.in/egv-Ax_i The UK graduate employment landscape underwent something of a downturn with the digital/IT sector seeing a 35% decrease in graduate hiring, while London experienced a 22% reduction in graduate roles. But across the wider workforce, healthcare is experiencing significant AI-driven transformation across multiple areas. For example, in diagnostics, Imperial College Health Partners reports AI systems are achieving consistent accuracy in interpreting MRI, CAT scans, and X-rays, though emphasising the importance of maintaining human oversight. I am often struck by what we might learn from the similarities and differences between the education and the health systems when it comes to technology and AI. For example, just as with education, the NHS faces significant technological hurdles, with only 20% of NHS organisations considered "digitally mature". Doctors in England lose an estimated 13.5 million working hours annually due to inadequate IT systems. There are clear infrastructure and staff training and professional development challenges in both health and education.  Yet, the amazing AI breakthroughs within medicine and health are not yet appearing in education.  In medicine, for example, we see generative AI tools and chatbots that are cutting the time doctors and nurses spend on paperwork, to AI that is “almost twice as accurate as a biopsy at judging the aggressiveness of some cancers.” https://lnkd.in/d9WWrpti and the promise of accelerating drug discovery to boosting personalized medicine and patient engagement. Where are the equivalent educational examples and wins? #SkinnyonAIED #AI #EdTech #Edchat #Leaders #innovation #technology #Learning #Students #Teaching #Edreform For more thoughts like this read the skinny here https://lnkd.in/gTaNTRkb

National Health Education Week: Monday: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Health Education Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, and health education is no exception. As AI continues to advance, it's reshaping how we approach health education, enhancing the ways we deliver information, engage with patients, and promote public health. From personalized learning platforms to predictive analytics in health outcomes, AI is creating new opportunities for health educators to reach wider audiences and improve health literacy more effectively. Today we're focusing on the role of AI in modern-day health education practice. As we embrace these innovations, it’s important to explore how AI can complement human expertise, ensuring that health education remains accessible, equitable, and impactful. By integrating AI, we can continue to improve health outcomes, empower communities, and shape the future of public health. #HealthEducation #ArtificialIntelligence #AIinHealthcare #NationalHealthEducationWeek #nhew #thisispublichealth

What if AI literacy were a public health initiative? A groundbreaking study by Mathilde Cerioli, Ph.D and Olga Muss Laurenty is transforming how I think about AI literacy. Their research, "The Future of Child Development in the AI Era," suggests the conversation about AI literacy belongs as much in health and wellness as it does in tech education. https://lnkd.in/gB97rrXn Key Research Insights: Neural Development at Stake: Our children's neurons are shaped by environmental interactions. AI applications can support or hinder crucial developmental milestones depending on implementation. The Screen-Time Multiplier: Rising myopia rates, disrupted sleep patterns, increased sedentary behavior – AI chatbots risk amplifying these health challenges. The Attention Economy's Impact: Extended exposure to AI applications can reduce children's capacity for delayed gratification and executive functioning – crucial skills for academic success. Why This Changes Everything The traditional framing of AI literacy as a technical skills initiative misses the mark. We're shaping neural pathways and behavioral patterns that will affect our children's development for decades. Three Critical Shifts Needed: 1. Treat AI literacy as a public health initiative 2. Bring healthcare providers and development experts into the conversation 3. Implement age-appropriate guidelines based on developmental stages EdTech remains largely unregulated, entering markets without evaluation of developmental impact. Yet Cerioli and Laurenty's work provides a framework for action, offering concrete steps for governments, tech developers, and educators.

In this In Beta podcast, Ben and I speak to Lambert Schuwirth. We wanted to get Lambert’s take on the impact of artificial intelligence in health professions education, and started the conversation with his involvement in the development of HPE-Bot. HPE-Bot is a chatbot interface to the GPT language model, which Lambert has been co-designing with Stephen Coetzee, Associate Professor of Accounting at the University of Pretoria. The conversation covers the development of HPE-Bot from a pedagogical perspective; the potential impact of generative AI on HPE teaching, learning, and assessment; concerns around hallucination; building entire curricula into language models; the research potential for understanding how this affects students' learning behaviours; changes to institutional culture and digital literacy; the impact on health professions and HPE; and the possible rise of private professional educational institutions supported by AI. Ultimately, we reach a conclusion that is both uncomfortable and exciting, depending on what you think about the role of universities in professional education. All in all, this was a wonderful conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. https://lnkd.in/eFBuBg7S

We need more than just STEM classes if we want the "care" part of healthcare to survive AI. 3 consequences if we eliminate humanities from healthcare professional education. (I wish number 3 was dystopian sci-fi instead of the actual current discourse.) 1. Healthcare professionals become interchangeable and disposable implementors of their technical training. 2. Human contact becomes irrelevant, entirely replaceable by algorithms that are faster, cheaper, and more accurate. 3. Life becomes expendable in the name of progress for elites. The sick and vulnerable masses are exploited as resources, fueling the creation of a privileged caste of techno-enhanced humans destined for space colonization. Meanwhile, 99.99% of life is abandoned to a dying Earth, their disposability deemed a necessary sacrifice for this warped idea of evolution. Our children can't code their way out of this thing. STEM won't save them. Fortunately, we have a resource that can stop it. You can create it yourself. As much as you want. And it's free, unlimited, inexhaustible, and undefeatable: Care. All we need is more care. True education makes us care. And care is nurtured from humanities education (not standalone STEM). And honestly, care is our only hope in digital medicine era.

AI is revolutionizing how we think about technology and its capabilities. In education, the question is not just about how AI can be integrated but what it means for students, institutions and the broader ecosystem of learning. How can AI enhance educational delivery and operational efficiency to create better outcomes for students and institutions? At this year's ASU+GSV, our CEO, Pradeep Khandelwal, and COO, Mallory Schindler, represented EIM in knowledge sharing and discussions. The sessions at the summit highlighted the next chapter of innovations in AI, including discussions on workforce development and preparing students for successful careers early in their education journey. The future of health care education hinges on quality — preparing practitioners who are not only knowledgeable but are also equipped to handle the evolving challenges of the health care industry. At EIM, we are committed to being at the forefront of educational innovation, ensuring our partners and students are learning dynamically and prepared for their careers as future health care providers. Thanks for the great event, and see you next year! #asugsvsummit
