Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform education for the better.
But when ChatGPT launched in 2022, it caused schools and academia alike to panic.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
General purpose LLMs are a good place to start, Rosensweig says.
But theyre not specifically designed with students learning process in mind.
Such tools have proved that they can successfully consume vast amounts ofdatafrom the internet and summarise the information effectively.
But theyre also prone to providing inaccurate answers and theyeven hallucinate.
Building education-specific small language models
Education-specific SLMs require two elements, according to Rosensweig.
The first one is the incorporation of pedagogy by design.
Rosensweig believes that the benefits of AI-powered personalised learning support are far-reaching.
It starts with the learning process itself and then offers a blend between critical thinking and actual employable skills.
