AI was asked to create an image of Gallipoli. What did AI not get right – and why is this important for our students? Answer below.

What are the critical skills that Beaconhills students will need in an AI-powered world? How is AI shaping the Learning That Matters at our school?

We’re proud to launch our latest BeInTheKnow series podcast, AI and Learning That Matters, featuring our Head of Education, Dean Pearman and Head of Teaching and Learning – Digital Practice, Victoria Spicer-Stuart.

Dean and Victoria give their expert insights into the skills they believe that students will need to thrive in a world driven by artificial intelligence. As Dean aptly puts it, “the process of thinking is more important now than it ever has been.”

Victoria is a sought-after speaker on AI in education. She recently spoke at the National Education Summit in Melbourne on the ethics of AI and ‘how to keep the human in the loop’. Next month Victoria will also present at the annual conference DigiCon on educating students to be ethical and critical users of AI.

As a teacher of History, Victoria gives a powerful example of how important it is that students have the essential analytical skills needed to engage with AI. They might ask AI to create an image of Gallipoli like the one above, but can they analyse why this image is historically inaccurate?  (Answer: There were no female soldiers at Gallipoli).
