Newsletter: May 2023

Here is a newsletter with all the new things regarding artificial intelligence and education in the past period. We know it can be difficult to stay updated, but we hope these newsletters can provide a good overview because things are going really fast at the moment.

We will publish many new articles free of charge and without ads. The site's operation is covered by lectures we hold around the country. If anyone wants to contribute to the site, please write to kontakt@viden.ai.

Upcoming Articles

We are working on several new articles that should be published within 14 days.

OpenAI has opened up for paying users to access plugins and the ability to let ChatGPT search the web. We have gained access, are testing the features, and are writing an article about it. Our first impression of the Wolfram Alpha plugin is that the language model's possibilities for working with mathematics have been significantly improved.

One article we look forward to is the one where we look at AI literacy and the TPACK model. Here, we examine what happens to the knowledge domains in the TPACK model when new technology, such as the Rapid Processing System, is introduced. ChatGPT or another generative artificial intelligence.

We are also working on an article on how educational institutions can prepare an understanding paper for using AI in education. It can be difficult for the individual school to set clear rules because technology changes so quickly.

One (too many) highly anticipated article deals with whether you can detect whether a text is written by artificial intelligence. Beforehand, we were a little reluctant to write this article because it could be a recipe for abusing ChatGPT for tests. Before the article comes out, we want to work out a way to ensure who gets access. Specifically, this will mean that you must have a free user on Viden.AI, and at the same time, it must be a work email.

State of play on Viden.AI

Viden.AI has just passed 35,000 visits since the turn of the year. We are approaching 1000 subscribers to the newsletter, and currently, are 50 articles available on the site. Currently, we have about 350 visits a day. We aimed to write a few articles about artificial intelligence and education from the beginning, but it has taken hold a bit. 😄

At the same time, we have agreed with the Royal Danish Library to collect our articles for the Net Archive, which does not happen automatically when we have an AI domain.

Expert group to make recommendations to the government

On Monday, 8 May, Mattias Tesfaye (Social Democrat) presented an expert group to look at artificial intelligence and the challenges associated with tests in the education system. The group is headed by the former chairman of the Danish Gymnasium and the former principal of Gefion Gymnasium, Birgitte Vedersø.

We proudly write that Per Størup Lauridsen, cand.it in web communication, represents Viden.AI. Per is a co-founder of Viden.AI and author of many articles on this site.
