Knowledge, Learning, Community

I'm sure I live artificial intelligence as much as the next guy. Maybe even more, especially the type of AI that employs neural networks and draws connections between things. And so I like the idea of using artificial intelligence to support learning, and I have no doubt we will. But not like this, "where using the full potential of advanced technologies can personalise learning to the students' needs and wellbeing, modernise assessment and harmonise the digital and physical campus." That's just the S of SAMR, and greatly under-estimates what we will be able to do with advanced AI technology. If you're just thinking of how AI can make existing institutions (even universities) bigger and better, you're probably missing the point of AI. Technology advances always and only when it takes institutional capacities and puts them into the hands (and control) of individuals.
