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.

8. THEME 1: EVOLVING/EXPANDING IMMERSIVE
EXPERIENCES
¡ Decentralized identity (DCI) allows an entity (typically a human user) to control their own digital identity by leveraging
technologies such as blockchain or other distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), along with digital wallets.
¡ Digital humans are interactive, AI-driven representations that have some of the characteristics, personality, knowledge and
mindset of a human.
¡ Metaverse is a collective virtual 3D shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical and digital
reality. A metaverse is persistent, providing enhanced immersive experiences.
¡ Non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique programmable blockchain-based digital item that publicly proves ownership of digital
assets, such as digital art or music, or physical assets that are tokenized, such as houses, cars or documents.
¡ Superapp is a composite mobile app built as a platform to deliver modular microapps that users can activate for personalized
app experiences.
¡ Web3 is a new stack of technologies for the development of decentralized web applications that enable users to control their
own identity and data.
9. THEME 2: ACCELERATED AI AUTOMATION
¡ Causal artificial intelligence (AI) identifies and utilizes cause-and-effect relationships to go beyond correlation-based
predictive models and toward AI systems that can prescribe actions more effectively and act more autonomously.
¡ Foundation models are transformer architecture-based models, such as large language models, which embody a type
of deep neural network architecture that computes a numerical representation of text in the context of surrounding
words, emphasizing sequences of words.
¡ Generative design AI or AI-augmented design, is the use of AI, machine learning (ML) and natural language
processing (NLP) technologies to automatically generate and develop user flows, screen designs, content, and
presentation-layer code for digital products.
¡ Machine learning code generation tools include cloud-hosted ML models that plug into professional developer
integrated development environments (IDEs), which are extensions that provide suggested code based on either
natural language descriptions or partial code fragments.
10.
11. THEME 3: ENGINEERING TRUST
¡ A lot of the new technologies on the horizon have a
core focus on providing trust through security and
reliability.
¡ Example:
Smart Cities fusing information together to provide
real-time incident response through a variety of
sensors, videos, and communication systems.
12. Former CIA agent Reese (Jim Caviezel)
-- now presumed dead -- and billionaire
software genius Finch (Michael
Emerson) join forces as a vigilante
crime-fighting team. Using Finch's
program, which employs pattern
recognition to determine individuals
who will soon be involved in violent
crimes, they combine Reese's covert-
operations training and Finch's money
and cyberskills to stop crimes before
they happen.
13. THEME 4: ACCELERATING GROWTH
¡ Many of the technologies on the horizon can help
accelerate growth in organizations.
¡ Example: Digital Assistants or digital twins
representation that have an opportunity to solve
technical issues, recommend books, and more.
These can be chatbots, robots, smart speakers, etc.
14. A boy tries to stop his father from
dating by programming their
computerized house to be a
surrogate mother.
15. THEME 5: SCULPTING CHANGE
¡ Everyone's favorite word “change” is a theme for
2023.
¡ The concept is “You must anticipate and influence
change to mitigate risk.”
16. Based on a story by famed science
fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority
Report" is an action-detective thriller
set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where
police utilize a psychic technology to
arrest and convict murderers before
they commit their crime. Tom Cruise
plays the head of this Precrime
unit and is himself accused of the
future murder of a man he hasn't even
met.
19. Data Fabric
• Data is incredibly valuable
• Data is used to make decisions
• Data is used to make predictions
• Data is unfortunately siloed between application
• Data Fabric allows you to pull data from across a variety of sources
therefore making it useable wherever its needed
20. How It's Used Today: The Finnish city of Turku found its
innovation held back by gaps in its data. By integrating
fragmented data assets, it was able to reuse data, reduce time to
market by two-thirds, and create a monetizable data fabric.
21. Cybersecurity Mesh
• Just as Data is important, Security is
even more important
• That Data is scattered across a variety
of platforms so its important to keep
those safe from tampering (removal,
edits, etc).
How It's Used Today: An organization in the technology space
was struggling to create value from its threat intelligence
program. Using a cybersecurity mesh approach, they integrated
multiple data feeds from distinct security products to better
identify and respond more quickly to incidents.
22. Privacy-Enhancing Computation
• Continuing on with our theme of “data” – data is also being used for AI
Models, building analytics, and insight. But data also has privacy
concerns attached to it.
• As data is transmitted, shared, or used – the concept of encrypting or
splitting out sensitive data is a trend so that data can still be used as
informal without compromising confidentiality.
23. How It's Used Today: DeliverFund is a U.S.-based
nonprofit with a mission to tackle human trafficking.
Its platforms use homomorphic encryption so
partners can conduct data searches against its
extremely sensitive data, with both the search and
the results being encrypted. In this way, partners
can submit sensitive queries without having to
expose personal or regulated data at any point.
24. Cloud-Native Platforms
• As more things are being moved to the “cloud”
(or off premise) but not all applications can
simply be moved in such manner.
How It's Used Today: A major Indian bank built a cloud-native
platform to create a portfolio of new digital financial services.
The bank was able to reduce the time to open an account to just
6 minutes and add instant digital payments. Deployment of a
new microservices architecture enabled the integration of
savings, virtual debit card and credit card services, allowing the
system to easily scale to over 3.5 million transactions in two
months.
25. Sculpting Change Themes
Composable Applications
• How It's Used Today: Ally Bank has
created PBCs representing repeatable
capabilities such as fraud alerting,
which its fusion teams can assemble in
low-code environments, saving over
200,000 hours of manual effort.
Hyperautomation
• How It's Used Today: A global oil and
gas company has 14 concurrent
hyperautomation initiatives. These
initiatives include targeted task
automation, industrializing over 90
different areas including intelligent
document processing, and automation
of geoscience and offshore oil drilling
operations. Decisions on what to
automate are made strategically and
are premised on targeted business
outcomes for either quality, time to
market, business agility or innovation
for new business models.
26. Sculpting Change Themes
Decision Intelligence
• How It's Used Today: Product-
centric organizations can create a
competitive edge in strategic
product decisions by using
decision intelligence to analyze
competitor strategies and
evaluate historic decisions.
AI Engineering
• How It's Used Today: Unity
Health Hospital in Toronto
recognizes that AI credibility is
critical for acceptance by its
physicians. Its fusion teams work
to build trust by showing
physicians the reliability of AI
results — and the gaps.
27. Distributed Enterprise
Thanks a lot COVID!
• Employees needed to rapidly
shift to working remotely and
needed different tools and
increased flexibility.
Consumers Want Easier Access
• Consumers aren’t as available via
the traditional physical methods
and also want things delivered to
them quickly, remotely, and at
their leisure.
28. Total Experience
• How It's Used Today: Fidelity Spire uses a
total experience approach in its financial
services. Analytics and AI learn client
behaviors to proactively respond to a
client’s next action and to create realistic
training simulations for staff. Unified
identity services help clients move easily
through self-service onboarding and
provide integration to the advisor’s view,
across multiple touchpoints.
29. Generative AI
• We commonly understand AI as something to
produce an answer, conclusion, or recommendation.
• Generative AI takes sample data and makes new,
original, and realistic outputs.
How It's Used Today: The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has
used generative AI to create synthetic payment data, from 5
million records of real payment data. The synthetic dataset will
be used to create new fraud models without revealing
individuals’ data.
