SUMMARY:SICSA October Education Seminar: Gen AI's impact on assessment design - Are we in Lane?
DESCRIPTION:For our October Education Seminar\, Jack Hogan\, Lecturer in Academic Practice and Kerith George-Briant\, Manager for the Learner Development Service\, both from Abertay University will explore how GenAI is being integrated into disciplinary assessments. They will draw on 8 semi-structured interviews with academic staff. These interviews revealed a complex interplay of student needs\, stakeholder expectations\, and disciplinary definitions of criticality and the development of AI tools are all influencing decisions around GenAI use. \nFind out more and register for this event.

SUMMARY:Adapting Education to Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:The UK government says that higher education must prepare students to be employed as valuable\, productive collaborators in the modern workforce. \nThe first ACM Europe School on Adapting Education to Artificial Intelligence will explore over 3 days how AI is changing the workforce and how we can now measure value\, productivity and collaboration. \nFind out more and get tickets.

SUMMARY:UKICER 2025 - Keynote: Teaching Responsible AI Literacy in Schools: Perspectives from academics and teachers (part of the main conference programme)
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Judy Robertson\, Serdar Abaci\, the Data Education in Schools Team and the AI Teachers in Residence \nGenerative AI has the potential to disrupt education\, whether used by learners or their teachers. The impact of GenAI tools on learning outcomes at school level is not yet known\, although there is some promise from initial empirical work. However\, given the impacts of Generative AI on society\, there is a need to educate children and young people about AI\, even while the educational impact of using AI is explored. \nThis talk will be jointly presented by a team of researchers and teachers who collaborated to develop lessons to support secondary school teachers in teaching their classes about AI. We will describe the principles behind the AI curriculum across four strands of work: the relationship of AI to Children’s Rights and ethics\, AI literacy\, critical thinking\, and the responsible use of AI to support learning. We will explain our AI Teachers in Residence model and why we thought it was important to co-develop it with teachers across a range of secondary subjects\, rather than focusing solely on computer science teachers. Some of our AI Teachers in Residence will present the materials they created and share how they have been used in classrooms so far. There will be opportunities for the audience to discuss with the teachers how best to teach AI in schools.

SUMMARY:PHAWM Launch and Networking Event
DESCRIPTION:SICSA is looking forward to attending the PHAWM Launch and Networking Event next Friday – 25 October 2024. \nJoin us for the launch of the Participatory Harm Auditing Workbenches and Methodologies (PHAWM ) project. Led by a consortium of 7 academic institutions in collaboration with 24 partner organisations\, PHAWM is set to transform AI auditing. We’re addressing the complex challenge of determining the benefits and harms of generative and predictive AI systems by involving a diverse group of stakeholders without AI expertise\, including end-users\, regulators\, decision subjects\, and domain experts. \nOur project spans four key areas: Health\, Media Content\, Cultural Heritage\, and Collaborative Content Generation. Join us for drink and canapés and learn more about our vision for workbenches for AI assessment\, comprehensive methodologies for participatory audits\, and a certification framework for AI solutions. \nThere will be an opportunity to network with leading figures from industry\, cultural heritage\, academia\, and AI ethics as we share our plans\, and opportunities to engage with our project and keep up to date with future developments. It promises to be a landmark occasion in AI ethics and governance\, we do hope you’ll join us at the University of Strathclyde Technology and Innovation Centre. \nReserve your place.

SUMMARY:SICSA Education: Robotic + Care Mashup - Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:SICSA Education is delighted to be supporting the Robotic + Care Mashup Hackathon 2023 at The National Robotarium\, Edinburgh. \nRegister now for the Robotics + Care Mashup which will return in October 2023 to bring together students\, academics\, end-users\, care providers and technologists to develop solutions that could help people live more independent lives. \nThe event will feature talks\, demonstrations\, hands-on workshops and tutorials for technologists and care providers with leading experts in healthcare\, assistive technology and robotics – all centred around a 5 days long hackathon. \nGet immersed in a real product development process over the course of a week\, with delegates from all around the country. Explore the use of emerging technology including cloud\, robotics and the Internet of Things equipped with machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. These can be used to enable non-intrusive monitoring of behaviour and vital signs\, detect patterns and trends in behaviour and individual health status\, identify problems\, support self-management\, decision-making and risk assessment\, triage issues\, facilitate communication and social connectedness\, and provide social\, cognitive and physical assistance when needed \nWhether your goal is to learn about robotic innovation for the care sector\, develop your skills\, solve a specific challenge\, find a future collaborator\, or simply meet like minded people – please get on board! \nThe event is free of charge. Lunches and coffee breaks will be provided. Everyone is free to join the community\, attend sessions\, and follow the progress of the teams participating to the hackathon and give their feedback on the concepts being developed throughout the week. \nAs in our 2021 edition\, we’ll be hosting product development sessions and and interactive workshops and hands-on tutorials from companies providing technical support\, including software development kits for cloud-based robot programming\, as well as robotics and AI for care workers and healthcare experts. \nTickets are available to participate to the week-long hackathon or to attend specific days. \nRead our Q&A document\, before heading over to see the full program and register on Eventbrite“
