@Richard @MrsDi @edutooters I’ve been talking with my media literacy #Mediazkit middle school students about AI quite a bit the past few years. I have a variety of related links on our “Wonder Links” page. Just search on the page for “AI” https://lessons.wesfryer.com/wonder-links #EduTooter

10 AI Predictions For 2023
1) GPT-4 will be released in the next couple months—and yes, it will be a big deal.
2) We are going to start running out of data to train large language models.
...
5) Search will change more in 2023 than it has since Google went mainstream in the early 2000s.

"Overheard in AI
It’s always fun being in a house with lots of smart people because you hear things that you might not otherwise. Here’s a list of them. I don’t agree with all of them but they’re at least an interesting portrait of what at least some people do believe..."

I found the article that mentions "Seckinger is apparently the only high school in the country dedicated to teaching AI as part of its curriculum, not just as an elective class, according to CSforAll, a nonprofit group dedicated to expanding computer science education in schools across the country."

I think all those “How to Mastodon” articles are going about it all wrong. They start by explaining federation and talking about how to choose a server. Yes that’s the first step but it’s also where we lose people. Just put that aside. Start by talking about how you use Mastodon, all the great apps, the culture, etc. Then end with the first step, that “all you have to do is pick a server to get started” and explain how. You have to hook a fish before you can reel it in.

An irregular reminder that calling this place "Mastodon" has a bit similar energy as saying "I just sent you a GMail."
"Fediverse" (or "fedi") is a better term.
Mastodon is just one of many software projects that talk to each other to create this multi-instance social network:

(kudos to @axbom for this fantastic infographic!)
There are blogs, Reddit-like communities, video instances and many more, all part of fedi.

@MrsDi Here’s an article that seems to do a pretty good job of describing the topic: https://nextconf.eu/2017/11/what-is-digital-humanism/
@tx_tartan thanks! I’ll take a look!

Why do we call them “central banks” and not “apex creditors”?
@tx_tartan and I need to find more on digital humanism!

@KaiserScience @MrsDi @edutooters Gartner presented a talk at a conference a few years back on the topic of ethics and “Digital Humanism”. The takeaway for me was that there are two different approaches: A “Digital Machinist” says “If it can be done, we should do it.” The Digital Humanist says “Yes, it CAN be done, but I’d it the right thing to do?”
Seems like the Digital Machinists are winning the ethics war…

I read that only 1 school in the US is teaching AI literacy. Even if it’s more, it isn’t a lot. I’m searching for how to learn it myself, true AI literacy, and to then bring to faculty as a start. Slim pickings. We are so far behind and our overall social culture leans easily in the opposite direction. Bit of an uphill climb right now.

Fake Voices: The Ethics of Deepfakes
(MIT App Inventor)
"In this unit, students explore synthetic media by creating a smartphone app that can speak in different voices by changing the rate and pitch of the speech. Students work in groups to present arguments about the possible future impacts of various types of #deepfake media, including ones in commerce and assistive technology as well as those used in crime.
Educators can use this lesson to introduce students to #coding , provide a basic understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and prompt students to predict the possible future use and abuse of synthetic media in society."

AI + Ethics Curriculum for Middle School
from the MIT Media Lab
"This project seeks to develop an open source curriculum for middle school students on the topic of artificial intelligence. Through a series of lessons and activities, students learn technical concepts—such as how to train a simple classifier—and the ethical implications those technical concepts entail, such as algorithmic bias."
