Society is periodically rocked by technology-driven revolutions that upend the status quo. The latest of these history-altering eras, known as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” began with the advent of digital technologies, including the development of artificial intelligence (AI). AI’s rise has already altered work, industry, and daily life profoundly. According to AI learning expert Donald Clark, it is also on track to reshape education. AI isn’t just transforming the how, why, and what of learning, Clark argues; it’s unleashing a “cognitive revolution” that’s changing how people think.

Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) reflects humanity’s strengths and shortcomings.

Historically, people have imagined the AI of the future in crude, mechanical, science fiction-type ways. For instance, when people speculated on AI as it might relate to education, they often pictured anthropomorphized robots: the idea of a human-looking robot paired with the notion that AI would have human-like understanding, subjectivity, and consciousness — which the AI that exists today in no way possesses.

Modern AI is not a distinct entity, but rather, a collection of concepts and technologies that people can apply to — and sometimes use to solve problems in — diverse fields, including engineering, health care, and education. Importantly, today’s AI tools are a far cry from the kind of autonomous artificial general intelligence (AGI) that humanity has, at times, imagined taking over the world for its own self-directed purposes. Indeed, ascribing the term “artificial intelligence” to today’s technology is probably misleading. Generative AI is really just software trained on vast amounts of data gleaned...
