A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

I will be reading some facts that will show how useful this organization will be to the city of boston and possibly to more cities in the future. Since 2014, homeless families in Boston has risen by 70% because housing prices have been rising by 7% annually. This results in more families in boston struggling with homelessness than indepdent people, which causes the average age of homeless people in boston to be 8 years old. Another fact is that most employers claim that homelessness is a proxy, or a hose for negatives qualities such as bad behavior or bad habits, which makes it even harder for homeless people to start working again. The homelessness rate in Boston has also gone up 65% since a decade ago, and more than half of these people do not have a job.
