Editor's Notes
- Introduce Myself Very short background
- This is what we will attempt to do today
- Moore’s Law = number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years Geometric expansion of computing capability We are in an age of amazing progress in computing capability, driven by advancements in GPUs That’s great, but so what if my cat video loads a bit faster?
- Freely given data combined with massive storage capabilities 100gb/day in 1992 50,000gb/day in 2018
- We are moving from an Internet Age to an Innovation Age. Starting in the mid 1990’s, the Internet connected the globe and sparked unprecedented innovation and unleashed a pace of change that had never been experienced. It is the Internet that enabled new paradigms for education. It has allowed us to challenge the status quo and open up new opportunities for learners and our educational. The Internet has created exciting innovations that has impacted all of us personally and professionally. The past 2 decades have been truly life changing – news is instantaneous, social connections are made online, information on any subject is at our finger tips, we can store and stream millions of songs from our smart phones, and we can buy just about anything at a click of a button. While as impactful as the Internet has been, it will pale in comparison to what lays just over the horizon in an Innovation Age. The innovation age will be characterized by a combination of rapid advancements in technology, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Block Chain, 5G communication, wearable computing, self-driving cars, energy storage, nanotechnology, machine intelligence, and the list goes on. These advancements are combining to spawn an era of innovation like no other in history and likely to be the greatest era of technological change in our lifetime. Change will occur an exponential pace and have the capability of mass disruption of entire industry structures. And behind much of that advancement … Artificial Intelligence
- Artificial Intelligence? Augmented Intelligence? Machine Learning? Watson, Alexa, Google Now, Siri, Cortana? Your car?
- Intelligence can be generally described as the ability to perceive information, and retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.
- This is a hotly debated area amongst academics in these fields, but since I am not one of those, I’ll simplify it this way.
- It gets complicated fast though …
- There are a few key things to keep in mind when navigating through the world of applied AI.
- Many AI platforms offer services and tools in these principle areas
- Also, By 2020, 30% of all companies will employ AI to augment at least one of their primary sales processes. Gartner Predicts 2017: CRM Sales
- Also, Sixty-one percent (61%) of those who have an innovation strategy say they are using AI to identify opportunities in data that would otherwise be missed.
- By 2020 the artificial intelligence market will surpass $40 billion By 2020, insights-driven businesses will steal $1.2 trillion per annum from their less-informed peers. Forrester Predictions The question we must face is “How to we respond”
- So what are the opportunities?
- Deakin University uses AI for student support services Georgia State University has seen great benefits from using AI for GSU admissions University of Michigan ‘Project Sapphire’ Cognitive & conversational technology to provide academic advising. System will automated allow flow of conversation based on prior human/human interactions University of Telecommunications Leipzig (Germany) Need to increase job placement rates for graduates. Analyze job postings to align employment trends with university curriculum. New degree program launched in 2.5 months instead of 12 months (76% improvement)
- Georgia Tech professor is now in his third semester with “Jill Watson”, an artificial intelligence teaching assistant that answers questions for online students. Stories of students asking Jill for a recommendation. Students that figured it out were tipped off by how efficient Jill was
- MOOCs, for all their faults, brought a spotlight onto the potential, demand, and affordances of learning at scale. We cannot accomplish even moderate scaling of our institutions without significantly either boosting the efficiency of our operations or diminishing our quality.
- Transfer Credit, finance, HR. We need to augment the expertise we currently have and free up our skilled personnel to do what they are truly good at. Dallas County Community College, real time Closed Captioning for all students across multiple languages
- Place learners in control of their learning and help Faculty serve the individual student. Ethical issues abound. Colorado State University - intelligent learning and assessment engine
- How do we accelerate innovation? Leverage students Hackathons, student support programs, grants Partner with Industry Bring together Faculty, Staff, and Students
- What’s ahead? There is hype Leverage AI where it makes sense, it is not a panacea Focus on data strategies
