AI: The Good, Bad, and Hopeful

BaseCamp Live - A podcast by Davies Owens

We're diving into the future of Artificial Intelligence with Josh McCroskey, the insightful Head of School at Ad Fontes Academy. McCroskey shares his extensive knowledge about the rise of AI, its potential impacts on our homes, schools, and its ethical implications. From pattern recognition to usage in social media and digital technologies, the rise of AI is undeniable. But as we embrace this new technology, how do we uphold the values of classical Christian education? We explore this precarious intersection, discussing the challenges in distinguishing between AI-generated work and a student's original effort. We stress the importance of open dialogue with students, helping them understand AI while ensuring they effectively express their knowledge. In the concluding part of our conversation, we explore AI's wide-ranging capabilities. We delve into its potential uses, from administrative tasks to generating creative content. We even touch upon AI's potential to create a debt-free higher education system. As we keep AI on our radar, we invite you to join us as we navigate its potential impacts on our lives and education. This is a conversation you don't want to miss!
