9 Tips for Your AI Reading List

Generative ai and the tools emerging from new technology are changing many aspects of society as they become ubiquitous.

As we look forward to the new year, we may want to take a little time to read about the concepts and potential of ai in education, as well as society as a whole.

1. One of the most notable titles available is Co-Intelligence: living and working with ai by Ethan Mollick, who publishes the ai-focused blog A useful thing. He is a distinguished scholar on the faculty at Wharton, where he is also co-director of the Generative ai Labs. Your text is easy to read and I think it is a fairly balanced approach to the possibilities and concerns raised by the use of generative ai in society and education.
2. Another general book on ai in education is by Salman Khan. Brave New Words: How ai Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That's a Good Thing)*. Khan's book is a more rosy vision of an ai-rich future, if that weren't evident from the book's title. However, the creator of Khan Academy and author of The One World school: education reinventedpresents his visions for a future educational environment much richer thanks to the influence of ai. If you haven't read A world schoolis an excellent volume on the potential of education in a knowledge-rich and digitally connected world. Khan also recently spoke with tech & Learning about how you use ai to teach.
3. To focus specifically on aspects of ai in the classroom, Daniel Fitzpatrick's study <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/125172711-the-ai-classroom?ref=nav_sb_ss_2_16″ target=”_blank” data-url=”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/125172711-the-ai-classroom?ref=nav_sb_ss_2_16″ referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>The ai ​​Classroom: The Definitive Guide to artificial intelligence in Education It is a highly recommended option. Writing with co-authors Amanda Fox and Brad Weinstein, it includes an overview of the ai ​​landscape, but then delves into how educators can use ai in their individual classroom environments. About a third of the book is a repository of potential tools for educators to use. It also includes some templates for ai policy development. It is more of a device and less narrative than the texts of Khan or Mollick.
4. A smaller volume is <a target="_blank" href="https://ditchthattextbook.com/ai-edu/” target=”_blank” data-url=”https://ditchthattextbook.com/ai-edu/” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>ai for Educators: Learning Strategies, Teaching Efficiency, and a Vision for an artificial intelligence Futureby Matt Miller, founder of Get rid of that textbook. Miller shares many resources and ideas as does his website in general. At just a little over 100 pages, you could read this book while baking cookies for Santa! However, it will most likely become a resource that you can return to periodically.
5. For those who are more focused on learning about the bias, ethics, and equity issues surrounding ai in education, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214384219-the-promises-and-perils-of-ai-in-education?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=jWlQyBrL4f&rank=3″ target=”_blank” data-url=”https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/214384219-the-promises-and-perils-of-ai-in-education?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=jWlQyBrL4f&rank=3″ referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>The promises and dangers of ai in education: ethics and equity have entered the chat. by Ken Shelton and Dee Lanier, may be the title to try.
6. Madhumita Murgia, a British-Indian author, offers an excellent look under the hood of generative ai engines through the eyes of those affected by their biases. She shares a less positive perspective through her examples in Code-dependent: living in the shadow of ai.
7. A more general reading on how ai fits into the geopolitical scene is that of Paul Scharre. Four battlefields: power in the age of artificial intelligence. Scharre's text provides great insights into ai issues beyond many of the topics discussed in the news. Share how ai is involved in global security, national interests, and the future of freedom. A more complete, well-founded and attractive read.
8. For someone looking for a more academic approach to the impact of ai on education, see Erionia Cela et al. collection of Teachers' roles and perspectives on ai integration in schools. It includes academic essays on the impact of ai and how to leverage it for blended education, curriculum design, community development, and professional development, among other topics.
9. Finally, technology and learning advisor Alana Winnick <a target="_blank" href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=69931&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FGenerative-Age-Artificial-Intelligence-Education%2Fdp%2FB0CD9BLCKN%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dtechlearning-gb-1456813966873459910-20" target="_blank" data-url="https://www.amazon.com/Generative-Age-Artificial-Intelligence-Education/dp/B0CD9BLCKN” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” rel=”sponsored noopener” data-hl-processed=”hawklinks” data-placeholder-url=”https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=69931&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.com%2FGenerative-Age-Artificial-Intelligence-Education%2Fdp%2FB0CD9BLCKN%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-20%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-20″ data-google-interstitial=”false” data-merchant-name=”amazon US” data-merchant-id=”1471″ data-merchant-url=”amazon.com” data-merchant-network=”amazon“>The generative era: artificial intelligence and the future of education explores both the opportunities and implications of ai in education, as well as the ethical considerations for its effective integration.
