SPOILER: This post is about personal #diversification All companies that I've worked for had revenue diversification as one of their main objectives for success. But what about personal knowledge diversification? As we enter a new era of technological revolution we should have in mind that diversifying our learnings will allow us to be more ready for an uncertain labour market. In order to enter the #ai revolution with better cards, we should aim to acquire new knowledge that will help you confront the challenges ahead with a bit more security. Besitos! PS: if you are a dev learn to cook, if you are a QA learn psychology and if you are PM study to become a teacher. Open as many doors as you can.

Ethan Mollick has posted his thoughts on the latest iteration of Chat GPT-4o. It is a very comprehensive look at the changes. Regardless of your field of interest or expertise, it is worth a look. If, like me, you are interested in Education, the extract below provokes thought and wonder.

When I asked AI how to be smart, and then I got this answer. As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences, but I can give you some tips that can help in becoming smarter: 1. Read books: Reading can exponentially increase your knowledge and broaden your perspective. 2. Stay curious: Ask questions and seek answers about the world around you. 3. Listen to others: Listen to the opinions and insights of others and be open to new ideas. 4. Focus on learning: Keep learning new things and acquiring new skills. 5. Embrace challenges: Challenges can push you to learn and think in new ways. 6. Practice critical thinking: Learn how to analyze problems and evaluate sources of information. 7. Be organized: Manage your time and resources effectively. 8. Stay disciplined: Set goals and work towards achieving them. 9. Avoid complacency: Continuously push yourself to learn and grow. 10. Stay humble: Recognize that there is always more to learn and strive for self-improvement.

Do you consciously nurture an open culture of thinking and debate in your home? According to Julian Richer, CEO of Richer Sounds, this is the paramount aspect of business culture. As always, there are so many parallels between the workplace and families. The summer holidays and potentially long journeys, are the perfect opportunity to start some healthy debates. Take it in turns to choose topics   ✅Having an open flow of conversation with your children ✅Showing that as an adult you value learning new things everyday ✅Giving them the confidence to think independently and express new ideas   This is how you can encourage critical thinking, a fundamental people skill, that no robot (as far as I know) can replicate. But then again I understand very little about AI! What I do know, is that our school system focuses way too much on rote learning and teaching to the test. Neglecting creativity and independent thought.   What ideas do you have for topics to encourage healthy debate in your family? All ages can get involved.

On the importance of Philosophy, especially in a tech-rich present and future...

I've been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence will transform how we teach and learn. Here are a few predictions I have about how L&D will need to adapt over the next decade. Immediately, I see a need to shift away from content generation and asynchronous learning that fails to acknowledge that humans aren't as rational as we'd like to think. Real behavioral change means learning in community and receiving nuanced feedback. Curious to hear your thoughts.

“Rather than continuing the unwinnable arms race of making essay-based assessment plagiarism-proof, the rise of AI presents educators with the opportunity to create more authentic, relevant assessment techniques that focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning skills.” 📜 The latest article in collaboration with Jisc, Nic Newman at Emerge education provides a sharp intake on challenges, trends, and opportunities in assessment under the impact of gen AI; as well as identifies the leading startup players in assessment. We’re honored to be included as an established edtech provider in the assessment and feedback area among many other innovative companies. 🌟 Many thanks for this recognition, which further confirms our mission to support institutions in creating meaningful learning experiences. 🔗 Read the full article below 👇 https://lnkd.in/gxPMiY_j #assessment #edtech #feedback #generativeAI

More reflections from my round the world trip: AI is doing amazing things and we are only just getting started. We can’t begin to imagine the ways in which AI and technological advancement will positively impact our learning environment and growth. BUT, in all this progress, let’s not forget about HI – Human Intelligence. The transformational effect of human connection, being in the presence of others, connecting, feeling a sense of belonging, sense making, experiencing the subtle, non-stated, non-verbal cues and communications. Learning together. Raising awareness, exploring and experimenting in ways that cannot be manufactured. I’m feeling particularly lucky to have spent time, hanging out with so many warm, generous, interesting, talented, inspiring people over the last month. I’ve learnt so much, from so many people. Things I could never have planned or expected. From family games to music, food to football, art to leadership. I feel connected and reconnected. Some people I’ve ‘known’ for years but never met in person and others I’ve grown up with. A handshake, a hug. Time spent hanging out. Enjoying the unbelievable hospitality and kindness of old friends and new, laughing, learning, feeling connected, part of something bigger. I’ve been enriched by our collective humanity. I’m all for pushing the boundaries of learning development but in the process, let’s not forget the irreplaceable need for deep, in person, experiential development as an essential part of our learning ecosystem.

How should #education and #science adapt in the #AI boom? My latest thoughts 👇 It started as a grumpy list of academic misconceptions about language models. That list largely survived, but — thanks to people at Stevens and questions from Authority Magazine — I considered broader and more productive points, like the academic job market. At a glance, it looks like we touched on: #research, #science, #machinePsychology, #decisionMaking #higherEd, #onlineEdu, #teaching #writing, #testing, #assessment, #argumentMapping, #GPT4 #educationPsychology, #QuantMethods  #academia, #jobMarket, #automation  #logic #CriticalThinking  #existentialRisk, #ethics  #LifeLessons #quote

To meet the needs of a rapidly changing job market and equip learners with the technical and ethical direction needed to thrive, institutions should familiarize students with the use of #AI and nurture the innately human skills needed to apply it ethically
