CUQ Ulster University’s Post

"Last year, I had the privilege of successfully completing the prestigious AICTE Training and Learning (ATAL) Academy Faculty Development Program on 'Emerging Significance of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Education: Current Perspectives,' hosted by Srinivas Institute of Technology from December 11-16, 2023. This transformative experience has significantly enriched my understanding of AI’s profound impact on these pivotal sectors. Eager to harness and apply this invaluable knowledge to future endeavors, driving innovation and progress." #ATAL #AICTE #AI #Developmentprogram #SIT #SCP #Healthcare #knowledgeupgrading

The AI Assessment Scale continues to develop thanks to the efforts of Dr Mike Perkins and British University Vietnam.  Check out the article for details on BUV and University of Stirling’s knowledge exchange on AI and assessment practices.  #ai #aiassessment #aieducation 

#CentralAsiaPolicyDialogue Prof. LIANG Jiansheng, Executive Deputy Director of UNESCO-ICHEI, pointed out that "The Policy Dialogue is a fertile ground for generating new ideas, fostering cooperation, and exploring future directions in higher education. The IIOE Micro-certification Project is committed to enhancing the digital competencies and AI literacy of the higher education workforce." #UNESCO #ICHEI #highered #iioe #Microcertification #AI #GenAI

Merging AI skills with healthcare innovation on your Master’s journey? Absolutely possible ! I’ve taken a bold leap into the world of AI by joining the MIAS Master (Management d'Intelligence Artificielle en Santé), an elite partnership between Centrale Lille and UFR3S - Département d'Ingénierie et Management de la Santé (ILIS) - Université de Lille. This collaboration opens doors to mastering AI, unlocking innovative practices, and sharpening computer science skills, all while tackling real healthcare challenges head-on Happy to dive into this thrilling experience ! AI in healthcare is just getting started ! #AIRevolution #AIInnovation #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #DataScience #Natural_Language_Processing #Project_management #HealthcareTransformation #FutureOfHealthcare

Exciting insights from the Generative AI for Education Leaders Summit in Sydney last week! Our Managing Partner, James Myint presented on the Australian Regulatory Landscape for GenAI in education, AI fluency in schools, the Australian Framework for GenAI in Schools, and Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency guidance. It's inspiring to see the progress being made in this field. #GenAI #Education #RegulatoryLandscape"  

The last stop (for now) in our fall conference season is the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) Annual Conference! 🥳 Later this week, Flint engineer Hao Xiang Liew and Head of Teacher Experience Lulu Gao will be in St. Louis to attend ISACS for the first time. If you’ll be there too, come stop by booth 34 and say hi! 😊 #ai #edtech #aieducation #flint #aiforschools #aipersonalizedlearning #aitutoring

The first International ORAN Symposium (#IORS) organized by #NTIA has been a valuable learning experience for me. Met several old friends and made many new. It was incredible to hear about need for repeatable, reliable, and consistent testing. ORAN adoption hinges on robust testing. To ensure so called "feature parity" with incumbent solutions, rigorous testing of conformance, function, and performance is essential. However, the cost and coordination required for comprehensive testing present significant challenges. The dynamics of various OTICs and the commercialization drive create a chicken-and-egg problem: testing is needed for adoption, but adoption is needed to justify investment in testing. To overcome these hurdles, collaboration is key. Academia can bring academic rigor to best practices, and new entrants may have an opportunity to innovate in this space. Detailed discussion notes are available on the NTIA website: https://lnkd.in/eepDwjnQ along with the lightning presentations including ours (#CHEDDAR, #University #of #Leeds) One thing, we did not hear at all in last few days is role of AI in testing 😂 . We did hear about testing of AI/ML features within ORAN though.

Recently at the Queensland Futures Institute’s Forum – Workforce, Education and Innovation – our distinguished panel outlined the opportunities and challenges around a rapidly evolving education and training sector. You can read the full report and see the event replay here: https://bit.ly/3JWKW2M The need for innovation and flexibility in education delivery is more important than ever due to rapidly developing technologies such as AI, and industry demand for an adaptable workforce which can operate in the economy of the future. The discussion highlighted the role for collaboration across universities, TAFE, industry and government to deliver education and training outcomes needed to meet this demand. #ai #artificialintelligence #education #training #tertiaryeducation #TAFE #queensland #qldjobs #innovation #auspol #qldpol #publicpolicy

Join experts Dr. Athar Osama, Jazib Zahir, Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy, and AI Avatar Sara, moderated by Nassir Kasuri, for a deep dive into AI’s true potential in education. Panel: Overcoming the Hype at SOT Events, Nov 2, 2024

This article is a useful approach to Generative AI: with our critical thinking skills rather than our fears. I enjoyed this example 😊: "Programming is merely an extension of thought itself. I don't throw every frog I find in a stream to see if it can swim because I have programmed a useful message in my head, that frogs swim. It's called deduction." I also appreciated rethinking AI as a force of nature: "For Heidegger, technology should be considered the way that Ancient Greeks saw it, most especially in the brilliant inventions of thinkers like Hero and Archimedes, as unity with nature, a gathering and concentration of the force of nature rather than something contranatural, imposing and violent." And the truth that "Deep fakes are not a technological problem, they are a human problem." This article is a great way to begin rethinking Generative AI, especially as a force of nature.
