Thanks to Fortune's Nick Lichtenberg for covering the launch of "Foundations of Generative AI" -- a new open course on edX from Georgia Institute of Technology's David Joyner! This pilot represents the future of education, where AI augments great teachers to become "super teachers." As I told Nick, AI holds massive potential to democratize access to quality education by giving every teacher tools to magnify their impact. Thank you Nick for capturing our vision of how AI can transform education without replacing the human expertise at its core.

A few weeks ago on my blog, I wrote "On My Three Rules for Principled AI Content Generation" and teased that I was playing around with an AI avatar of myself to generate and revise course video content. A month ago, I launched a new module in CS7637: Knowledge-Based AI on Generative AI produced with that avatar. Today, the public version of this idea launches: a new course on edX called Foundations of Generative AI. It's a relatively short course. That's partially because of the target audience, but also because... well, I'm curious to see what the reception to this is. I'm a glutton for feedback, after all. But while a lot will be said about the idea of AI teaching the course, the remarkable thing to me is how quickly this approach started to feel normal. I make the argument in the course that the history of software engineering is a series of tools that allows one person to do the work of five, and AI is a continuation of that. This approach feels similar: it took me probably 2-3x longer to produce this course with AI than it would have taken me otherwise, but that's because I was able to do all parts of the process. Without this, I wouldn't have been able to produce this by myself at all. But the other key observation I have there is that like many tools before it, AI is a talent multiplier: it lets someone with a little knowledge do more, but it lets someone with a lot of knowledge do WAY more, creating better products in the same amount of time (or comparable products in less time). To try to put this in silly math terms: imagine the combination of skill and effort needed to produce a course like this is 10. On my own, I'm a 2. AI gives me a 5x multiplier. So, me + AI is just good enough to get to a 10. But our video producers were already a 10. AI tools still give them a 5x multiplier. Now, they're a 50: they'll create far better stuff in less time. But not everyone has access to the amazing producers at Georgia Tech. With these new tools, anyone can reach that 10 to create something good enough. But if you can give these new tools to someone who is already a 10... hoo boy. The possibilities are amazing. And that's to say nothing for what makes this approach suited to online education. I loved getting to decide "this should be a video" at the last minute. I loved getting to insert a book recommendation into a video right before launch. In the past, needing that flexibility has forced us to keep more things in text, but that's not as good for learning. So, I'm excited. I'm a little sick of hearing my "own" voice from endlessly tweaking these videos (I usually only preview my 'real' videos once), but I'm excited. But I'm also aware that this idea is only good if its benefits can be translated to learners. So, I look forward to hearing what others think. Here's the course, and the trailer. https://lnkd.in/edKdwmjC
Georgia Institute of Technology’s David Joyner and edX are testing a bold idea: A course about AI, built with AI. Using generative tools—including an AI avatar that mirrors his voice and gestures—Joyner created Foundations of Generative AI, a new three-week course on edX. The experiment holds the potential to help educators keep courses current and give learners a firsthand look at AI in action. "For me, this course was a chance to really play with how AI can support learning," Joyner said. “I’m still writing the content and exercises myself, but AI helps turn that same amount of effort into a better learning experience.” Read how this pilot blends the power of AI with human interaction to push teaching forward → https://lnkd.in/eiq6wYS9
