Integrating generative AI in knowledge building

Abstract Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is penetrating in various social sectors, motivating a strong need for teaching AI literacy in younger generations.

Integrating AI in Knowledge Building

Earlier this week, I had the good fortune of joining a panel organized by my colleageus Seng Chee Tan and⁩ Alwyn Lee at the 2022 Empowering Learners in AI conference.

While my colleagues on the panel presented some really exciting new research, I used my time to ask a series of questions.
