1. How do machine bots work?...
Machine bots are designed and programmed to perform certain tasks. Bots can run on their own, following the instructions given them without needing a person to start them. Many bots are designed to do things humans normally would, such as repetitive tasks, accomplishing them much faster than a human can. The example that was used in the video was training a bot to identify and recognize images of fish versus those that are NOT fish. Bias comes into play because the person who is doing the training is providing input data to the bot by categorizing their images, information, etc. The AI bot then looks for patterns based off of the information that was provided to it in the beginning of its training.
2.How can Khanmigo help teachers?...
Khanmigo can automate activities like writing a rubric or moving from a set of standards to a set of learning objectives. It can also digest data and generate reports on student progress to the district. Each of these items achieves the goal of returning time to teachers. It sounds like it's a huge time saver for teachers (which is always a good thing)! Being able to create lesson assignments, activities, and assessment tools such as rubrics, etc. So in other words, it definitely becomes a "teaching assistant." It's able to provide teachers with information that is needed, information that needs to be re-taught, creating assignments, activities, and assessment tools. It's always great being able to "refresh" lessons, documents, resources, and assessments from year to year. And with the help of AI as a "teaching assistant," it seems very easy, doable, and user friendly! =)
