Horizon Scanning: AI and Education 2.0
2018
In partnership with Mandeep Mangat
Research in artificial intelligence technology has been directed towards knowledge engineering as a core division of the science. Efforts to integrate traits such as common sense, problem solving, reasoning, perception, learning, and planning have been extensive within the development of artificial intelligence technology. It is believed that innovations in this field have potential for remarkable applications in the education system. I have implemented a strategic foresight methodology called Horizon Scanning (STEEP) in order to assess design opportunities and examine implications of merging artificial intelligence technology and Indigenous allyship in the context of educational reform.
The introduction of European classroom-style education and the forced compliance of Indigenous children to its modalities disrupted the traditional teaching methodologies of its people and, in combination with other assimilation efforts, resulted in a loss of cultural identity and spiritual degradation. The reintegration of traditional teachings and increased cultural and language-based support are the main focus of present education reform in many Indigenous communities.
Firstly, social, technological, economic, environmental, and political trends are defined (thus the abbreviation STEEP) within the application domains above.
