This page aims to keep CSM staff aware of the latest advancements of AI in creative education, and to quickly access relevant resources.
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) ?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) defines intelligence demonstrated by machines and technology, in contrast to intelligence demonstrated by human behaviour. While Kaplan and Haenlein define AI as “a system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation” (Kaplan and Haenlein 2019), Poole and Mackworth (2010) have define AI more widely as “the field that studies the synthesis and analysis of computational agents that act intelligently.”
Artificial intelligence is at the forefront of a changing landscape in tertiary education. From personalised learning pathways to automated administrative tasks, AI promises to redefine teaching and learning for learners and practitioners alike. But harnessing the full potential of AI isn’t without its challenges – both ethical and technological – which need careful navigation.
