Abstract:

So far Artificial Intelligence (AI) has mainly been used to support individual learning and individual exam success. However, the big challenges we face today suggest the need for more Collective Intelligence. In this talk I will describe what Collective Intelligence is and outline how we can design digital technologies including AI, especially language assistants like ChatGPT, to support teaching for Collective Intelligence. As well as offering a theory for the design of education for the future I will share some details of projects that we have run, are running and want to run in the future.
