AI is here to stay. And, while it may not yet be able to replace human teachers, it is already being used to enhance and supplement traditional education.
Language models, like Elicit, can be used to automate and accelerate the research process, allowing anyone to quickly become an expert in any topic. By analyzing and organizing vast amounts of information, language models can help one filter out irrelevant or low-quality sources, saving time and effort in the process.
As another example, Dr. Philippa Hardman demonstrated in a LinkedIn post how she used ChatGPT (a chatbot that uses natural language processing) to create an automated grading system. Systems like this could save educators a lot of time, allowing them to focus on more high-level tasks like providing feedback and facilitating discussions.
