Good day Community -
There’s been a lot of talk around AI, especially the past several months. I’m not talking about any specific area really...just in general. AI is really gaining steam in my opinion! Even our beloved Veeam has found a useful way to implement it within its product. 🙂 But, is everyone looking to implement/integrate AI in everything really a good thing? I guess the best answer is, “it depends”. 😉
As one who works in the education space, this is a topic I really am trying to wrap my brain around to learn...
- How best to implement pieces of AI which benefits the student population, as well as help our District be as “cutting edge” and “relevant” in the education space as possible;
- Where and how to put boundaries in place to prevent its abuse. ← and this here is really a huge and broad area. Where do administrators begin? What systems can be put in place to prevent abuse of AI tools? Etc.
At my org, we are looking to hire a Junior Systems Engineer, and one of our interview questions is: “what challenges do you feel education will face in the next 3-5 years.” I’ve found it interesting about half our interviewed candidates have shared that integrating AI in our space will be the greatest challenge. I think they’re right.
Anyway, the goal of my post is to hear what your thoughts are on AI. Do any of you have any AI concerns at work? Personal life? Other? Or, are you just one who is “all-in” as it were and looking forward to what AI brings forth in the coming months and years? Should there be regulations around AI? At what level?...federal?...state/province?...local/city? Or, maybe this should start with tech companies?
Curious of your thoughts...
