Futureproofing Our Students - Episode 41
Manage episode 361965931 series 3277898
Being a teacher, I’ve heard it said all too often — “Schools don’t teach these anymore!” Or that what’s being taught in schools is outdated.
In this podcast you'll hear Dave Conelias talk about what school can and should do. Dave, founder of MilestoneC, an organization that helps bridge that gap between the supply (schools) and demand (industry) speaks his mind about the good, the bad, and the overhyped in tech.
I asked him to weigh in on AI and other emerging tech since I interviewed him a few days after Google announced it would release its own AI, known as Bard, in an apparent mad rush to compete with all the ChatGPT hype. I wanted to know what aspect of this ‘Generative Pretrained Transformer’ (the GPT part of the ChatGPT) was showing up on his radar. His analogies are fabulous.
It was so good I took out my interjections in the interview (by the way, this podcast goes through some heavy duty editing to tighten things up), so as to keep it to just around 11 minutes. If you're a student, this will give you some useful context. If you're a parent or a not-tech person, I hope this addresses some of the questions you probably have. Enjoy!
