Explain how machine bots work. How might unintended bias impact what machine bots may produce as “results?”
Machine bots are large language models meaning they are trained on large amounts of information. The information that has helped to train the bots can sometimes have bias, they machine bots are unable to determine what bias is so their answers can sometimes reflect an unintended bias based on what information they were trained on. Machine bots need to be taught to recognize those types of things, and need the help of humans to do so.
How can tools like Khanmigo help teachers in the classroom? What are your thoughts about using AI as a teacher assistant or tutor for your classroom?
Khanmigo can really help teachers reduce the time they spend on things like analyzing data, recreating lesson plans, writing parent communication. These things are very important to our jobs however are incredinly time consuming, the amount of time teachers spend outside the classroom doing this type of work can lead to things like teacher burn out. Using these tools can help teachers live a more balanced life.
Khanmigo also has features like teaching assistant or tutor. While I'd need to see it more in action I think these could really be helpful and game changers in the classroom. Using an AI tutor could help increase the impact we have on students during the school day and year. If areas of need are quickly identified I'm sure there are options to assign specialized tutors for those areas, especially if we aren't able to see every student in a small group setting daily. They could be used for that in between time, so students are still getting targeted intervention. I'd imagine it could also be used to extend or challenge students that are already at benchmark as well. I look forward to seeing how this can positively impact education!
