● To what extent does technology account for the complex social dynamics of how people work and learn together, or is technology leading humans to narrow or oversimplify?
As mentioned earlier, people are good at context; AI—not so much. R&D investment in context- rich edtech thus could serve multiple national interests because finding ways to do a better job with context would be a fundamental advancement in AI. Indeed, questions like these reverberate across all applications of AI in society, and education is a centrally good context for investigating them:
Technology plays a fascinating role in shaping the intricate social fabric of human collaboration and learning. It acts as a catalyst, enabling seamless connectivity and resource-sharing among individuals, transcending geographical barriers. In the realm of work and education, technology offers opportunities for global collaboration and knowledge exchange, enhancing productivity and creativity. However, caution is warranted, as an over-reliance on technology may lead to oversimplification and diminished face-to-face interactions. Striking a harmonious balance is essential. Embracing technology while valuing traditional human connections ensures that we harness its full potential without losing the richness of genuine human interactions and the joy of learning together.
