Session 3 - Dr Dominik Lukeš, University of Oxford – Teaching during the Cognitive Revolution: What will learning and teaching look like in the age of AI?

Teaching during the Cognitive Revolution: What will learning and teaching look like in the age of AI? 

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has completely upset not only what we can expect of a computer but also how we view the role of technology in the process of learning. Now we have machines that can help at all stages of the learning process - they can not only help us manage cognitive load but also completely remove it. This talk will explore the roles AI can play in the learning process both from the perspective of the learner and the educator. It will explore the role of the LLM-powered tool not only as a productivity assistant, peer reviewer, or tutor but also as a toolmaker.
