Mākslīgais intelekts ienāk mūsu ikdienā tik cieši un iekļaujoši, ka mēs to pat bieži nepamanām. Jaunieši un daudzi cilvēki vidējā vecumā to pārsvarā prot izmantot gan ikdienas dzīves atvieglošanai, gan izklaidei, protams, ja pieejamas tehnoloģijas un to nodrošinājums. Bet vecākā paaudze diezgan grūti iekļaujama šajā pasaulē, jo vispirms baidās, ka tehnoloģisko zināšanu risinājumi ir nepietiekami lai nenodarītu paši sev zaudējumus; otrkārt nav pārliecināti, ka viņu darbības IT vidē, kāds neizmantos pēc viņiem kā turpinājumu un nenesīs zaudējumu viņiem vispirms finansiāli un arī morāli. Ir jau lieliski uzsvērt, ka tehnoloģijas atvieglo dzīvi, bet ir jābūt garākam, gribētos teikt ilglaicīgākam  pārejas periodam (vai dubultai iespējai) jo ne visi iedzīvotāji ir gatavi šai virtuālajai videi.. jo cilvēkiem ir jānonāk šajā vidē sarbojoties ar patiku, nevis spiestā kārtā, jo citas opcijas saņemt vajadzīgos pakalpojumus vienkārši netiek nodrošinātas...

That's all for today!

See you tomorrow for a very exciting day at the EPALE Community Conference!

It is too soon for AI in many levels of education. It's even too soon for calling this technology an AI. 

However, the question of reducing human workforce remains open. Not every person is keen on learning for that kind of technology usage. Instead of making bold statement that we CAN use AI, we need to ask ourselves SHOULD we use it. 

To delve into the topics mentioned by Ljubica Nedelkoska, have a look at:

• The working paper version of the upcoming publication: https://www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10419/271199/1/1847008011.pdf
• A non-technical summary of the main findings: https://www.h2020-pillars.eu/insight/skill_mismatch

How could AI support autonomous exploration of knowledge?

The ability of AI to interact in a human-like way with people could multiply the channels of interaction in education. Could this make it easier for students to explore knowledge following their own personal inclinations by interacting with a number of human-like sources of information, anytime and anywhere, without being worried about overwhelming their teacher?

Could this perspective be useful? Can we educate students to fruitfully use AI in this manner?

How worried should we be about AI disrupting elections? Thank you!

According to research in Czech schools, 45.5 % of respondents rate AI as a positive tool for future development. On the other hand, almost half (47 %) of respondents believe that the use of AI will lead to the dumbing down of humans. At the same time, Czech teachers overwhelmingly think that it is too early for AI to be widespread. 
The truth is that we will never be ready enough. I am glad that the EU is responding and making proposals for regulation. In particular, practices such as subliminal influence, exploitation of vulnerable populations, the creation of 'social scores', real-time biometric identification.. 

Good morning, 

In my opinion it will be inevitable, AI will end up replacing us in most jobs. But, in terms of skills, I think we have a lot to gain from AI. Learning will be able to be effectively individualized, adjusted to the needs of each person and will be able to happen naturally throughout our lives. We will probably need a very different school and teachers who will be more mentors. I don't think that's bad! All of this will probably dictate the change in education that we all feel necessary.

I would be interested in hearing out how the outreach of less or under served learner groups is being funded around Europe? Are there any current or upcoming funding tools at sight to facilitate funding of training opportunities for them who cannot pay themselves and do not have an employer etc. to pay the training for them?

Especially the options that serve not only nationally but on European level are of interest (online and onsite).

Are you ready to untangle the many implications of Artificial Intelligence in education and to discover how upskilling and reskilling can meet the challenges of shortages in the labour market?

If you already have pressing questions on these issues, feel free to start posting them here.

We'll then address them to our speakers!
