August 21 2024 Chantelle Howie /learning/news/list/2024/08/21/a-pedagogically-sound-and-valuable-offering-studiosity-writing-feedback-plus /learning/news/list/2024/04/17/staff-use-and-perception-of-generative-ai-in-australian-universities We invite you to participate in a national survey that examines how AI tools are currently being used by academic, professional and sessional staff in Australian Universities for teaching, research and professional work. You can access the survey here which takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. The project aims to provide baseline evidence of the extent and nature of AI adoption by ���˴�Ƭ staff, including the impact of AI on productivity in the higher education context. Survey questions ask about AI-driven practices in specific domains, including assessment, learning analytics, coding, course design, student support, data analysis and visualisation, text summarisation, and collaboration and networking. The findings will inform higher education policy and practice, assist university staff to navigate the AI revolution effectively, and bridge the knowledge gap that currently exists regarding AI’s impact on higher education. The survey has been designed by social scientists from QUT and Griffith University. Together, they have longstanding expertise in the intersections of technology, work and education; inclusive education; ethics and integrity; quality supervision and mentoring; and survey design and analysis.

It is not only considerably larger than the previous 3.5 model but also seems to be displaying subtle traits of “general” intelligence.  AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence, which is the ability of a computer or agent to intellectually understand and carry out tasks like a human.  A recent paper from March 2023 authored by researchers at Microsoft titled ‘Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence’1 had access to a non-aligned (unrestricted)version of ChatGPT4 to play with, and they discovered a number of emerging behaviours that indicate that the model may be showing the first signs of AGI.

Nobody has all the answers to these questions yet, and it feels like the technology is evolving almost daily. The last few weeks has seen announcements from Google, Microsoft and the launch of GPT4, which will once again change the conversation around the capabilities and affordances of AI tools.  March 29 2023 Michelle Ratzmer /learning/news/list/2023/03/29/artificial-intelligence-communities-of-practice /learning/news/list/2023/03/29/creating-masterpieces-from-ai One of the most interesting aspects of artificial intelligence in 2023 is its ability to be creative. We once thought that AI would replace jobs such as manufacturing or self- driving garbage trucks. However, AI now appears to have significant capabilities in creative industries such as graphic design, copy editing, concept art and music. Is this the end of artists?  Tavik Morgenstern, Academic Integrity Investigations Officer, explores this in more depth. March 29 2023 Michelle Ratzmer /learning/news/list/2023/03/29/creating-masterpieces-from-ai /learning/news/list/2023/02/15/teachers-beating-ai The challenges posed by developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated text have been getting a lot of attention recently. Assessment design can help to secure assessments by making them more difficult to outsource, either to a contract cheating provider or to AI. Associate Professor Georgina Drew (Social Sciences) explains how her assessment design engages students and encourages them to do their own thinking and learning.
