Media and digital literacies in Canadian teacher educators’ open educational practices: A post-intentional phenomenology

AI - glossary item

“Trying to determine where the human ends and where the artificial intelligence begins is pointless and futile.” — Sarah Elaine Eaton (as cited in Bozkurt et al., 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the development of machine/ computer based systems that mirror, mimic, and augment human intelligence. Since the advent of the computer, authors such as Turing, Asimov, and McLuhan have foretold of a time when computers will supplant human cognition (Bozkurt et al., 2023).

In education, Bozkurt et al., (2023) suggested that "AI technologies are mostly adopted for predicting learner outcomes and behaviors (e.g., student achievement or dropout), tailoring learning experiences, providing an adaptive learning environment, improving academic performance and enhancing learning experiences" (p. 55). Critical issues that need to be highlighted and addressed include ethical issues, privacy concerns, issues with equity, and concerns with copyright and ownership of data (Bozkurt et al,. 2023).
