    Foster yeah yeah I absolutely and thanks

    Lauren just really excited to be here so
  • 00:02:46
    yeah I'm the chief learning officer at
  • 00:02:47
    the Penn Foster group I've been here for
  • 00:02:49
    gosh almost two and a half years and
  • 00:02:52
    loved every minute of it um been a chief
  • 00:02:54
    academic officer for like the last 10
  • 00:02:56
    years and just for what it's worth I
  • 00:02:58
    began my path in education as a high
  • 00:03:00
    school English teacher and worked with
  • 00:03:02
    the at-risk youth and that's kind of
  • 00:03:04
    where my part is and probably always
  • 00:03:06
    will be at Penn Foster I lead academic
  • 00:03:09
    programs so those include like your
  • 00:03:11
    instructors your graders the folks that
  • 00:03:13
    you interact with when you need extra
  • 00:03:15
    support and help with academics I also
  • 00:03:17
    lead um kind of the vision for the
  • 00:03:19
    learning design teams those are the
  • 00:03:21
    folks that help create the actual
  • 00:03:22
    content and then I lead the academic and
  • 00:03:25
    non-academic support team so the folks
  • 00:03:27
    when you call in and need help with like
  • 00:03:29
    a payment or you don't know what your
  • 00:03:31
    next course or program might look like
  • 00:03:32
    those are the folks that help you so
  • 00:03:34
    yeah that's me
  • 00:03:37
    definitely
  • 00:03:41
    and it's cool that I think you have so
  • 00:03:43
    much insight into a lot of how our
  • 00:03:46
    Learners interact with us at Penn Foster
  • 00:03:48
    and their experience and I think it's
  • 00:03:51
    cool that that's something that you
  • 00:03:52
    think about and in the conversation of
  • 00:03:55
    AI which is what we're going to get into
  • 00:03:58
    um so some topics we'll cover today are
  • 00:04:00
    what kind of AI is relevant to education
  • 00:04:02
    how you can use AI to help you learn
  • 00:04:05
    what are some do's and don'ts of using
  • 00:04:08
    AI for school
  • 00:04:10
    is using AI cheating that's a popular
  • 00:04:13
    question right now and why you should
  • 00:04:15
    learn more about AI
  • 00:04:18
    um so Andy overseeing so many aspects of
  • 00:04:21
    education and the learner experience at
  • 00:04:24
    Penn Foster let's kick it off by you
  • 00:04:26
    telling us a little bit more about what
  • 00:04:28
    kind of AI is most relevant to education
  • 00:04:32
    yeah that's a good one so just maybe
  • 00:04:35
    I'll do like the rule of three and then
  • 00:04:37
    if we want to dive deeper into something
  • 00:04:39
    um let's do it let me start with one
  • 00:04:42
    this which is there was a study many
  • 00:04:46
    many years ago that and you're an
  • 00:04:47
    education research was like the study
  • 00:04:50
    and it was by um Bloom and it was called
  • 00:04:53
    the two Sigma study and basically what
  • 00:04:55
    they did is they took three different
  • 00:04:57
    groups one group got like your normal
  • 00:04:59
    typical direct instruction one group was
  • 00:05:02
    required to do Mastery learning and the
  • 00:05:04
    other group got one-on-one tutoring
  • 00:05:07
    um they called this study the two Sigma
  • 00:05:09
    study because the group they got to
  • 00:05:11
    tutoring got two standard deviations
  • 00:05:14
    increase in learning which is
  • 00:05:16
    significant but the challenge is that
  • 00:05:19
    one-on-one tutoring is very very
  • 00:05:21
    expensive and if a school can't support
  • 00:05:24
    it typically folks let's say you come
  • 00:05:26
    from an affluent family can tend to
  • 00:05:29
    afford tutoring but folks let's say that
  • 00:05:31
    you know just getting by I may not
  • 00:05:33
    necessarily be able to afford that so
  • 00:05:35
    there was a real kind of
  • 00:05:37
    um inequity in that and so you fast
  • 00:05:39
    forward to Ai and to me it's the
  • 00:05:42
    beginning of one-on-one tutoring for
  • 00:05:44
    everybody
  • 00:05:45
    so there's a real uh democratization and
  • 00:05:48
    at least what I view as the potential of
  • 00:05:50
    AI so I I just want to ground ourselves
  • 00:05:52
    in the promise of um a technology
  • 00:05:55
    generative AI at least that's fairly
  • 00:05:58
    recent and uh I think that's really
  • 00:06:00
    exciting so the potential here is is
  • 00:06:02
    immense
  • 00:06:03
    I think the second thing is
  • 00:06:06
    um you know it's absolutely relevant to
  • 00:06:08
    education and quite honestly it's going
  • 00:06:10
    to be integrated into the common
  • 00:06:12
    platforms that I'm guessing a lot of you
  • 00:06:14
    use today so simple example right if
  • 00:06:17
    you're using Google it's now and
  • 00:06:19
    increasingly going to be powered by I
  • 00:06:21
    think Bart is that right or whatever the
  • 00:06:23
    name of their their AI engine is which
  • 00:06:26
    is going to make things like search and
  • 00:06:28
    other functionalities
  • 00:06:29
    increasingly more sophisticated so you
  • 00:06:32
    may not even know it right now but
  • 00:06:34
    you're using generative
  • 00:06:35
    um Ai and then finally three we have
  • 00:06:39
    over the last four to five months
  • 00:06:42
    um the creation of so many new tools
  • 00:06:44
    that are powered by this new artificial
  • 00:06:47
    intelligence right Chad GPT is probably
  • 00:06:49
    the one that you've heard the most about
  • 00:06:52
    um this is crazy right I mean I think in
  • 00:06:54
    January they had one million users and
  • 00:06:56
    in February 100 million users that's the
  • 00:06:59
    fastest adoption of an educational
  • 00:07:01
    technology technology in general that I
  • 00:07:03
    think we've seen ever more than Facebook
  • 00:07:06
    more than you know you name it so
  • 00:07:09
    there's something very powerful
  • 00:07:10
    happening here but it's more than just
  • 00:07:12
    chat gbt right I mean you have image
  • 00:07:15
    creation video creation and you're now
  • 00:07:18
    seeing billions of dollars in
  • 00:07:20
    investments in everything under the sun
  • 00:07:23
    right writing feedback math tutoring I
  • 00:07:26
    mean you name it it's happening you know
  • 00:07:29
    and I think I think for you as a user
  • 00:07:31
    what I would just really encourage you
  • 00:07:34
    is to be um be really in the know be
  • 00:07:37
    somebody who's reading about this who's
  • 00:07:39
    who's seeking Insight who's asking
  • 00:07:41
    friend friends who's looking to
  • 00:07:42
    resources like what Penn Foster group
  • 00:07:45
    offers was which we just launched a new
  • 00:07:48
    um site on our Learning Resource Center
  • 00:07:49
    all about Ai and you can get much more
  • 00:07:52
    specifics here but but really be
  • 00:07:54
    somebody who's taking this seriously and
  • 00:07:57
    who's inquiring and seeking to learn
  • 00:07:59
    more about it because listen this this
  • 00:08:01
    is not going away this isn't this isn't
  • 00:08:03
    a fad this is you know think about many
  • 00:08:06
    many years ago right when you use paper
  • 00:08:08
    maps use paper maps anymore no like same
  • 00:08:11
    kind of concept right it's here to say
  • 00:08:13
    I want to go back to one thing that you
  • 00:08:16
    said about the access that AI kind of
  • 00:08:19
    provides for outcomes when you know
  • 00:08:21
    typically in the past you had to have
  • 00:08:23
    been able to afford a tutor to get that
  • 00:08:26
    extra help and extra support and now ai
  • 00:08:29
    is accessible for anyone but I think
  • 00:08:31
    another cool thing about it is that you
  • 00:08:34
    know seeing a tutor working with
  • 00:08:35
    somebody in person can be intimidating
  • 00:08:37
    for a lot of people and it's also not
  • 00:08:40
    immediate so if you need help in the
  • 00:08:42
    moment
  • 00:08:43
    AI is is there for you and ready and
  • 00:08:47
    it's also not as scary to open up chat
  • 00:08:49
    GPD as it could be for a tutor so I
  • 00:08:53
    think that's kind of another cool way
  • 00:08:54
    that it opens up access to to positive
  • 00:08:57
    learning outcomes yeah yeah but Lauren I
  • 00:09:00
    could as there's a couple things there
  • 00:09:01
    that are really worth noting I think
  • 00:09:03
    your point about we in education world
  • 00:09:06
    we call kind of the gold standard
  • 00:09:08
    meeting the student at the point of need
  • 00:09:10
    and right and if you're a student for
  • 00:09:12
    example on this this session and you're
  • 00:09:14
    let's Penn Foster student you know uh
  • 00:09:17
    you might be studying Saturday night you
  • 00:09:20
    know Sunday morning Tuesday after the
  • 00:09:22
    kids go to bed and those are times in
  • 00:09:25
    which there's not always a human
  • 00:09:26
    available to help you we wish there was
  • 00:09:28
    but there's not always and so to be able
  • 00:09:31
    to have access to an AI tutor for
  • 00:09:33
    example that's available 24 7 which
  • 00:09:36
    really aligns with that point of need
  • 00:09:37
    concept is huge right so I think that's
  • 00:09:41
    a great point now um if you happen to to
  • 00:09:44
    be an educator and and you're listening
  • 00:09:46
    to this or even like a tutor and you're
  • 00:09:48
    listening to this I would just really
  • 00:09:50
    challenge you in a good way because if
  • 00:09:53
    you um if you can't be available 24 7
  • 00:09:56
    and you're not as accessible as an AI
  • 00:09:58
    what I hope you bring in Spades is the
  • 00:10:00
    human element right how how do you
  • 00:10:03
    motivate and care and connect in ways
  • 00:10:06
    with your learners that let's say a
  • 00:10:08
    computer can't so my hope is this is the
  • 00:10:10
    kind of technology that like lifts all
  • 00:10:12
    boats right
  • 00:10:14
    um so view this as almost like ways to
  • 00:10:16
    be the best version of yourself as a
  • 00:10:18
    tutor but but Lauren the key Point here
  • 00:10:20
    is um that 24 7 you know availability is
  • 00:10:24
    significant especially for our Learners
  • 00:10:25
    who are living super busy lives and I
  • 00:10:27
    think that's one of the you know
  • 00:10:28
    potential game changers here definitely
  • 00:10:30
    and I agree with what you said too
  • 00:10:31
    there'll be aspects of tutoring and
  • 00:10:33
    education that you know an in-person
  • 00:10:36
    conversation you just need to have that
  • 00:10:39
    in those moments but if we can
  • 00:10:40
    supplement some of that that need to
  • 00:10:43
    learn more more with AI or with online
  • 00:10:45
    tools then that's awesome yeah 100
  • 00:10:49
    yeah that makes a hundred percent sense
  • 00:10:51
    and I feel like
  • 00:10:53
    you said
  • 00:10:55
    it's something we need to learn about
  • 00:10:56
    because it's not going anywhere you can
  • 00:10:58
    either fight it or you can rock out to
  • 00:10:59
    it it's one or the other and I think
  • 00:11:02
    that that's really important whether
  • 00:11:04
    you're a student or you're a
  • 00:11:06
    professional already I mean it's it's
  • 00:11:08
    infiltrating so many Industries and so
  • 00:11:10
    many like parts of our everyday life we
  • 00:11:13
    really need to know more about it and
  • 00:11:15
    it's you know its relevance to education
  • 00:11:18
    in terms of this conversation
  • 00:11:21
    um so in your opinion Andy what is the
  • 00:11:23
    best way for a student to use AI
  • 00:11:26
    platforms to help them learn
  • 00:11:28
    yeah that's a good one so there's
  • 00:11:31
    there's a lot of sort of like Endless
  • 00:11:34
    Possibilities
  • 00:11:36
    um but if you if you think about a few
  • 00:11:38
    really basic ones right so one a lot of
  • 00:11:42
    students struggle with with writing
  • 00:11:44
    right listen when I um went to grad
  • 00:11:47
    school that was probably like my biggest
  • 00:11:49
    fears like gosh I'm gonna have to write
  • 00:11:51
    a lot am I really gonna be successful
  • 00:11:55
    um and I was a student
  • 00:11:56
    um who was able to like go to the
  • 00:11:58
    writing lab and spend time with writing
  • 00:12:00
    tutors where not everybody did so I
  • 00:12:02
    think one of the ways you should think
  • 00:12:04
    about using AI is for writing now this
  • 00:12:05
    is a really important distinction I
  • 00:12:06
    think we'll get into this aside in a
  • 00:12:08
    second I am not saying use AI to write
  • 00:12:10
    your paper
  • 00:12:12
    um I'm saying use AI to think to that
  • 00:12:15
    tutoring concept to provide
  • 00:12:18
    um to provide feedback to you right and
  • 00:12:20
    so one of the things that you want to
  • 00:12:21
    get practicing get good at and they call
  • 00:12:24
    it kind of prompts is being able to
  • 00:12:27
    write a prompt in an AI engine like chat
  • 00:12:30
    GPT that can give you the kind of
  • 00:12:33
    feedback that you're looking for now we
  • 00:12:35
    at Penn Foster group we're gonna we're
  • 00:12:38
    gonna help you do that
  • 00:12:40
    um we're not only we can help you do
  • 00:12:41
    that within your actual writing
  • 00:12:43
    assignments but in the Learning Resource
  • 00:12:44
    Center that I mentioned we actually have
  • 00:12:46
    references to strategies and tips about
  • 00:12:48
    writing prompts but if you get really
  • 00:12:50
    good at writing prompts in a chat GPT
  • 00:12:52
    like AI engine
  • 00:12:54
    um you can find ways to submit your
  • 00:12:56
    paper right and get automated
  • 00:12:58
    personalized feedback in like the snap
  • 00:13:01
    of a finger right so
  • 00:13:03
    writing is you know help is a huge way
  • 00:13:06
    that I think Learners can take advantage
  • 00:13:08
    of AI to support their academic progress
  • 00:13:10
    but it's not just feedback with writing
  • 00:13:12
    right I mean you can get an outline for
  • 00:13:15
    an essay that you want to read you can
  • 00:13:17
    brainstorm topics you can ask for a
  • 00:13:20
    model example example right not not take
  • 00:13:23
    that example and use it as as your own
  • 00:13:26
    people but an example to look at and say
  • 00:13:28
    oh this is kind of what the rubric that
  • 00:13:30
    I'm getting that I'm supposed to write
  • 00:13:32
    here's an example of what an AI might
  • 00:13:34
    write relative to that rubric and and
  • 00:13:36
    use it as as a model to look at and say
  • 00:13:39
    okay this is how this should be crafted
  • 00:13:41
    and then use that then to write and
  • 00:13:43
    generate your own your own writing right
  • 00:13:46
    so within the the writing process and
  • 00:13:49
    then the actual feedback
  • 00:13:51
    um AI presents tremendous tremendous
  • 00:13:55
    support
  • 00:13:55
    um for Learners to me I I used to love
  • 00:13:58
    as a kid I don't know about you all
  • 00:14:00
    remember like the encyclopedia
  • 00:14:01
    britannicas where you would just go
  • 00:14:03
    through and flip pages so you'd be like
  • 00:14:05
    on W and we learn about whales you know
  • 00:14:07
    but that was like fascinating that's
  • 00:14:08
    when we were younger and super curious
  • 00:14:10
    about everything you can think of AI as
  • 00:14:13
    sort of like a 21st century encyclopedia
  • 00:14:17
    and so okay what's that look like in
  • 00:14:19
    real life go get curious go have
  • 00:14:21
    conversations back and forth with an AI
  • 00:14:25
    right I mean I was I think the other day
  • 00:14:27
    just asking all sorts of questions about
  • 00:14:29
    history you know I mean it's just
  • 00:14:31
    fascinating to hear what the eye engine
  • 00:14:34
    will will share with you based on the
  • 00:14:36
    questions
  • 00:14:37
    um you ask and and this is an important
  • 00:14:39
    differentiator between an AI engine like
  • 00:14:42
    chat gbt and Google right listen no
  • 00:14:45
    knock on Google I love Google but we
  • 00:14:47
    should know that when you submit
  • 00:14:48
    questions to a search engine the top
  • 00:14:51
    hits are often ones that are paid for
  • 00:14:53
    and so in a chat GPT at least for now
  • 00:14:56
    that's not the case so you're getting
  • 00:14:59
    information
  • 00:15:00
    more purposely aligned with your
  • 00:15:04
    question and with less let's call it
  • 00:15:06
    economic motivation so think of AI is
  • 00:15:09
    almost like a get curious like a
  • 00:15:11
    conversational q a and then lastly I
  • 00:15:14
    would say based on the specific type of
  • 00:15:18
    thing you're trying to learn there's
  • 00:15:19
    likely an application for you right are
  • 00:15:22
    you trying to create images for a
  • 00:15:24
    presentation do you want to put a little
  • 00:15:26
    video together you know for some kind of
  • 00:15:30
    um artifact that you want to create you
  • 00:15:32
    name it there's an AI creating a website
  • 00:15:35
    in like a couple questions boom like
  • 00:15:37
    there's an AI tool out there and that's
  • 00:15:38
    back to like get get into the research
  • 00:15:41
    mode here like really
  • 00:15:43
    um spend some time reading and thinking
  • 00:15:45
    and talking to friends and you know
  • 00:15:47
    soliciting experts like our lrc page so
  • 00:15:50
    that you really become aware of all that
  • 00:15:52
    that's possible and keep rest of it
  • 00:15:54
    because gosh every day something new
  • 00:15:56
    gets created and I really think we're
  • 00:15:57
    going to be in that stage for a bit of
  • 00:15:59
    time here absolutely you talked about
  • 00:16:01
    using AI for research how much can you
  • 00:16:04
    trust AI to help you with the research
  • 00:16:07
    is it accurate do you feel like there's
  • 00:16:10
    a need to you know double check the
  • 00:16:12
    information you're receiving
  • 00:16:14
    he has a really a really good question
  • 00:16:17
    that I think Point
  • 00:16:19
    um there's a professor Who I Really Love
  • 00:16:21
    at I believe the Wharton School of
  • 00:16:23
    Business who coined this term he said he
  • 00:16:26
    said um and he's chat gbt like chat gbt
  • 00:16:29
    is like a really patient intern who
  • 00:16:31
    occasionally lies to you
  • 00:16:34
    um and it is true right and in the kind
  • 00:16:37
    of the clinical terms they call it
  • 00:16:39
    hallucinating because because remember
  • 00:16:40
    there's not like real artificial
  • 00:16:43
    intelligence yet right it's really based
  • 00:16:45
    on statistical you know math in which
  • 00:16:49
    you're creating all these different if
  • 00:16:51
    then then that kind of work behind the
  • 00:16:54
    scenes that then produces these results
  • 00:16:57
    for you and if and if the the algorithm
  • 00:17:00
    if you will
  • 00:17:02
    um isn't quite certain what you're
  • 00:17:03
    asking or or sometimes might generate an
  • 00:17:06
    answer that's not a hundred percent true
  • 00:17:09
    so get on like your BS detector right
  • 00:17:12
    like think reflectively skeptical right
  • 00:17:16
    by the way that's true of reading
  • 00:17:18
    textbooks that's true of listening to
  • 00:17:21
    professors people have subjectivity
  • 00:17:23
    people are not a hundred percent right
  • 00:17:26
    let me tell you as a teacher I made a
  • 00:17:28
    lot of stuff up when I didn't know the
  • 00:17:29
    answer I'm just kidding sort of but I
  • 00:17:31
    mean really right and so like have a
  • 00:17:33
    certain skeptical lens to it which is
  • 00:17:35
    great because hopefully that that
  • 00:17:37
    facilitates a certain amount of critical
  • 00:17:38
    thinking right walk into any educational
  • 00:17:41
    environment to any textbook to any AI
  • 00:17:44
    engine with a certain amount of like
  • 00:17:45
    Discerning between what has Merit and
  • 00:17:48
    what doesn't so but at the end of the
  • 00:17:50
    day you should not accept a hundred
  • 00:17:53
    percent of what you get in there as as
  • 00:17:55
    gospel
  • 00:17:57
    um I I would I would really assume most
  • 00:17:59
    of it is probably at least somewhat
  • 00:18:01
    accurate but have a critical eye
  • 00:18:05
    that's a really good point
  • 00:18:07
    um I wanted to go back to something else
  • 00:18:09
    that you said about using it to get
  • 00:18:11
    curious there's a lot in that last
  • 00:18:12
    answer you gave that was really
  • 00:18:13
    interesting
  • 00:18:15
    um you know I love I think you know when
  • 00:18:18
    I think about learning when you're going
  • 00:18:19
    through a course you know you're trying
  • 00:18:22
    to really get the information you need
  • 00:18:23
    to pass the test pass the exam and make
  • 00:18:26
    it through
  • 00:18:28
    um and you know when you're maybe
  • 00:18:29
    looking at your textbook or your course
  • 00:18:31
    materials there's only going to be a
  • 00:18:33
    certain amount of information on the
  • 00:18:34
    subject that really enables you to you
  • 00:18:37
    know get through the course
  • 00:18:39
    um but one cool thing about AI is it
  • 00:18:42
    enables you to have that resource to dig
  • 00:18:45
    a little bit deeper and I think that
  • 00:18:47
    that's very cool too even if you just
  • 00:18:48
    want to deepen your understanding for
  • 00:18:50
    curiosity purposes but then the more you
  • 00:18:52
    understand often the better you may do
  • 00:18:55
    on an exam or in your course because you
  • 00:18:57
    can understand that concept more
  • 00:18:59
    holistically so
  • 00:19:01
    I don't know I think that's just another
  • 00:19:03
    really cool part about AI but yeah but
  • 00:19:06
    can I so sorry
  • 00:19:08
    building on him um there's a really
  • 00:19:12
    wonderful
  • 00:19:13
    um educator and and those of you who
  • 00:19:16
    have kids you may have sent your kids to
  • 00:19:18
    school called Montessori or or heard of
  • 00:19:21
    of um of the methods but one of the
  • 00:19:24
    things that I love about Montessori
  • 00:19:26
    schools and the Montessori sort of
  • 00:19:28
    pedagogy which is like you know like the
  • 00:19:30
    way we think about teaching and learning
  • 00:19:32
    is this notion where kids sort of
  • 00:19:34
    especially early on are able to kind of
  • 00:19:37
    independently seek out things they're
  • 00:19:39
    interested in and when they're there
  • 00:19:41
    they go deep and they play and they they
  • 00:19:43
    create and so as you get further along
  • 00:19:46
    in your education like just to be honest
  • 00:19:49
    like my fear is we lose some of that
  • 00:19:51
    Montessori magic and My Hope in the
  • 00:19:55
    early days of online learning was that
  • 00:19:57
    we could democratize knowledge right
  • 00:19:59
    whereas in you know in higher education
  • 00:20:02
    at least this this knowledge used to
  • 00:20:03
    just be in the heads of these brilliant
  • 00:20:05
    professors and it was their job to sort
  • 00:20:07
    of let you know their Brilliance and it
  • 00:20:09
    was your job to like remember it and
  • 00:20:11
    figure out how to apply it I think we're
  • 00:20:13
    in a world where like knowledge is
  • 00:20:16
    everywhere and accessible by by a lot of
  • 00:20:19
    people through the internet
  • 00:20:21
    um now we have to get better at creating
  • 00:20:23
    Equity with technology like that's a
  • 00:20:25
    whole other topic but the Hope here is
  • 00:20:28
    that we democratize knowledge that
  • 00:20:31
    doesn't mean that you just figure out
  • 00:20:32
    how to learn overnight that's a whole
  • 00:20:33
    separate thing but that's a step right
  • 00:20:35
    it's democratizing knowledge and then
  • 00:20:36
    you take AI right especially genitive Ai
  • 00:20:39
    and and really it it's gonna be I think
  • 00:20:43
    like a learning tool for you for the
  • 00:20:46
    rest of of our lives and that's really
  • 00:20:48
    exciting because it's it's it's not just
  • 00:20:50
    about looking for insight in an ocean
  • 00:20:52
    right it's really having more of a
  • 00:20:55
    personalized tool to take that
  • 00:20:56
    information that's now somewhat
  • 00:20:58
    ubiquitous and democratized and being
  • 00:21:01
    able to have a tool that's able to like
  • 00:21:03
    distill and get for you especially as
  • 00:21:05
    you get better at writing prompts the
  • 00:21:06
    kind of information that's most relevant
  • 00:21:08
    and so now you have like kind of a
  • 00:21:11
    version of a teacher accessible to you
  • 00:21:14
    um in a way that that I don't even know
  • 00:21:16
    I even dreamed of like 10 15 years ago
  • 00:21:19
    and so this notion of like Get curious
  • 00:21:23
    and and yes there's like specific things
  • 00:21:25
    we need for you to learn in your program
  • 00:21:27
    that are relative to the jobs you want
  • 00:21:28
    to get but as Lauren said if there's
  • 00:21:30
    something that you're you're fascinated
  • 00:21:32
    by go back to that time when you're a
  • 00:21:33
    little kid and you really want to dive
  • 00:21:35
    deeper on you have the means to go dive
  • 00:21:38
    dive deep and to me that's kind of
  • 00:21:41
    revolutionary quite honestly
  • 00:21:43
    and I think it's part of what makes AI
  • 00:21:46
    pair really well with online education
  • 00:21:48
    to your point because if you're sitting
  • 00:21:50
    in a brick and mortar classroom you're
  • 00:21:52
    often maybe not able to be on your phone
  • 00:21:54
    or not able to be you know using AI to
  • 00:21:57
    search and go deeper on certain topics
  • 00:21:59
    and you're trying to keep up with a live
  • 00:22:00
    teacher when you're online at home doing
  • 00:22:04
    that then you can kind of you know have
  • 00:22:06
    your course up but maybe take a pause
  • 00:22:08
    and and dig deeper on something that
  • 00:22:10
    you're curious about and I just think
  • 00:22:12
    that that's that's a really cool pairing
  • 00:22:15
    absolutely yeah I mean I think the
  • 00:22:18
    people who are going to get this right
  • 00:22:19
    aren't going to try to fight it off
  • 00:22:21
    they're not going to try to ignore it's
  • 00:22:23
    not going away think of like paper maps
  • 00:22:26
    um they're gonna be the ones and I'm
  • 00:22:28
    going to go back to like my human tutor
  • 00:22:30
    analogy they're going to figure out
  • 00:22:31
    where the human component really is a
  • 00:22:34
    special unique quality that then is
  • 00:22:37
    leveraging AI to be even more of a
  • 00:22:40
    powerful educational environment like
  • 00:22:42
    don't think of them as a either or think
  • 00:22:44
    of like how they fuse together in the
  • 00:22:47
    best possible way but I agree with you
  • 00:22:49
    that I think online environments are
  • 00:22:50
    especially poised to take advantage of
  • 00:22:53
    this new technology
  • 00:22:54
    yeah I think that it's really cool too
  • 00:22:56
    the way that you know this the
  • 00:22:58
    conversation is kind of going that you
  • 00:23:01
    can become an expert on how to utilize
  • 00:23:03
    AI best for you it's not necessarily a
  • 00:23:07
    crutch it's another tool that we need to
  • 00:23:09
    learn how to harness and learn how to
  • 00:23:12
    use for each individual you know learner
  • 00:23:16
    or or professional or anybody in in that
  • 00:23:19
    in that matter so I think that that's a
  • 00:23:22
    really cool way of looking at it that
  • 00:23:24
    like obviously and we'll get into this
  • 00:23:26
    next I think is about AI whether it's
  • 00:23:29
    cheating or you know usually utilizing
  • 00:23:31
    it for certain things
  • 00:23:33
    um but once you learn how to use it for
  • 00:23:37
    you it's it's a tool it's not a crutch
  • 00:23:41
    if that makes sense yeah 100 it 100 does
  • 00:23:45
    I mean and I just uh just I could just
  • 00:23:47
    one like other uh recommendation sort of
  • 00:23:50
    encouragement to Learners is giving you
  • 00:23:52
    have access to a version of uh 21st
  • 00:23:56
    century encyclopedia and a one-on-one
  • 00:23:58
    tutor
  • 00:24:00
    um and you can go deep and get curious
  • 00:24:01
    and do it 24 7. I just like encourage
  • 00:24:05
    students so much to think about what it
  • 00:24:07
    means to be a self-directed learner
  • 00:24:09
    right I mean I think you know people ask
  • 00:24:12
    me sometimes like what's what's the most
  • 00:24:14
    important thing you would you would tell
  • 00:24:15
    a student you know to get good at you
  • 00:24:17
    know and I mean I think critically is
  • 00:24:19
    probably one of them but but gosh be a
  • 00:24:21
    self-directed learner you're you're
  • 00:24:23
    living in times where
  • 00:24:25
    um it's never been easier to access
  • 00:24:27
    knowledge now that doesn't mean it's the
  • 00:24:30
    equivalent of like sending you to the
  • 00:24:31
    library and saying teach yourself
  • 00:24:32
    economics we know that learning is much
  • 00:24:35
    more complex and messy which is why
  • 00:24:36
    folks like Penn Foster group exist is
  • 00:24:38
    because we really know the ingredients
  • 00:24:40
    that lead to good learning
  • 00:24:42
    um but you can absolutely take advantage
  • 00:24:45
    of some of these tools that you know
  • 00:24:47
    folks even six seven months ago didn't
  • 00:24:50
    have access to so I just encourage you
  • 00:24:52
    to be a self-corrected learner and
  • 00:24:54
    encourage you to leverage these tools
  • 00:24:57
    um because I really think there's a huge
  • 00:24:58
    benefit here and it's not going away
  • 00:25:00
    it's only going to increase
  • 00:25:03
    um in in what's available
  • 00:25:06
    so let's get super practical and maybe
  • 00:25:09
    go through some of the dues
  • 00:25:13
    in tandem with school
  • 00:25:16
    yeah I mean well let's let's start with
  • 00:25:18
    the don'ts right and and remember like
  • 00:25:21
    there was a time where like the
  • 00:25:23
    typewriter or the calculator
  • 00:25:27
    um right were very feared the internet
  • 00:25:30
    um we're very feared in in sort of the
  • 00:25:33
    public educational uh organization and
  • 00:25:36
    probably with some Merit you want to
  • 00:25:37
    sort of like take it in and figure
  • 00:25:39
    figure it out but those are really
  • 00:25:41
    common tools right today
  • 00:25:44
    um and so I I think with AI when I
  • 00:25:47
    wouldn't view just AI in general has a
  • 00:25:49
    as a threat but it is kind of how you
  • 00:25:52
    use it that matters so like a don't is
  • 00:25:55
    do not and we've gone over this before
  • 00:25:57
    I'm just going to say it again they're
  • 00:25:58
    like do not use AI to cheat like what
  • 00:26:01
    benefit is that if you don't do the
  • 00:26:04
    learning and you don't do the thinking I
  • 00:26:06
    mean I mean maybe you you get away with
  • 00:26:08
    it and you get a degree or certificate
  • 00:26:10
    but do you have the skills that you're
  • 00:26:12
    gonna need to be effective in your job
  • 00:26:15
    and future jobs like you're sort of just
  • 00:26:18
    cheating yourself in a way and so don't
  • 00:26:19
    use AI to cheat do the thinking
  • 00:26:23
    um do do the learning right don't don't
  • 00:26:25
    cut and paste essays or be in your exam
  • 00:26:28
    and have you know an AI engine on the
  • 00:26:30
    other side and just like typing the the
  • 00:26:33
    question and getting the answers like
  • 00:26:35
    that's that's not what we want right and
  • 00:26:38
    and honestly the more that that happens
  • 00:26:40
    the more you're going to see educational
  • 00:26:41
    organizations like fight back the
  • 00:26:45
    Innovative possibilities like
  • 00:26:46
    democratizing learning so be part of
  • 00:26:48
    good and fair use right so don't don't
  • 00:26:51
    use it to cheat I think is probably like
  • 00:26:53
    my my number one message the other thing
  • 00:26:55
    that I would say is and we've touched
  • 00:26:57
    upon this as well but but don't accept
  • 00:26:58
    everything as gospel right I mean it's
  • 00:27:00
    capable of hallucinating or not being
  • 00:27:03
    100 accurate so approach it with some
  • 00:27:06
    level of discernment right like what's
  • 00:27:08
    accurate here what's not which is I
  • 00:27:10
    think a great tool for critical thinking
  • 00:27:13
    so don't accept 100 of it is true have a
  • 00:27:16
    Discerning you know I critical lens
  • 00:27:18
    don't use it to cheat
  • 00:27:21
    um and then the third thing I would say
  • 00:27:23
    is
  • 00:27:24
    um make sure you're like adding your own
  • 00:27:26
    personal creativity especially when
  • 00:27:28
    you're using it as like a productivity
  • 00:27:30
    tool like creating a video or like
  • 00:27:32
    creating an image or creating a website
  • 00:27:34
    think about it as offering you like a
  • 00:27:37
    base and then you get to like work with
  • 00:27:39
    that base so don't don't let it Rob you
  • 00:27:41
    of being creative and and producing and
  • 00:27:44
    and like you know and making it your own
  • 00:27:46
    personal Mark right
  • 00:27:49
    um there's tons of dues and like we've
  • 00:27:51
    gone over some of them like get curious
  • 00:27:53
    think of like 21st century encyclopedia
  • 00:27:56
    use it to go deep you know where you
  • 00:27:58
    really have interest and think there's
  • 00:28:00
    real relevance get knowledgeable
  • 00:28:02
    research and and find out about the
  • 00:28:06
    trends and the tools and the
  • 00:28:07
    applications that are really uh highly
  • 00:28:11
    rated and feel very relevant to your to
  • 00:28:13
    your learning and and use it as like a
  • 00:28:16
    24 7 point of need as sort of Lauren
  • 00:28:18
    mentioned tutor when when you need it
  • 00:28:21
    right and then you know my my final call
  • 00:28:24
    to action which I'll just reiterate is
  • 00:28:25
    like become a self-directed learner it's
  • 00:28:29
    the greatest gift I think you know an
  • 00:28:31
    educational world that you can have
  • 00:28:32
    especially now with AI
  • 00:28:35
    absolutely
  • 00:28:37
    so Andy also if I know we've talked a
  • 00:28:40
    lot about doing your own research about
  • 00:28:42
    Ai and learning about it just you know
  • 00:28:45
    the best the best way to fight the fear
  • 00:28:47
    of it is to know everything you could
  • 00:28:49
    possibly know
  • 00:28:51
    um so in your opinion where are the best
  • 00:28:53
    resources to learn about utilizing AI me
  • 00:28:56
    I know we talked about we have the in
  • 00:28:58
    the Learning Resource Center but is
  • 00:28:59
    there anywhere else that you would
  • 00:29:00
    suggest Learners or anybody watching to
  • 00:29:03
    go to get the the DL if as it were on um
  • 00:29:07
    on AI the download yeah I love it um
  • 00:29:10
    yeah I mean um I'm a big fan of the Khan
  • 00:29:13
    Academy and I'm a big fan of some
  • 00:29:16
    calling them they actually have a course
  • 00:29:18
    on AI on their website non-profit it's
  • 00:29:22
    free and um I really encourage folks to
  • 00:29:25
    check that out there's a ton of great
  • 00:29:27
    insight as well as a ton of great
  • 00:29:29
    resources in that free course
  • 00:29:32
    honestly this sounds kind of cheeky but
  • 00:29:34
    ask AI right um I think if you have a
  • 00:29:38
    chat GPT although I'd probably use a
  • 00:29:40
    more modern version
  • 00:29:42
    um that has the most most up-to-date uh
  • 00:29:45
    intelligence in it
  • 00:29:47
    um you can ask you can ask it about
  • 00:29:48
    what's the future look like for AI you
  • 00:29:50
    can ask it like recommended resources
  • 00:29:54
    um you can you know you can really use
  • 00:29:56
    it as like a tool to ask about itself
  • 00:29:59
    which I know it sounds funny but listen
  • 00:30:02
    I was leading an AI Summit at the Penn
  • 00:30:04
    Foster group and one of the first things
  • 00:30:05
    I need to do is craft an email and I
  • 00:30:07
    literally asked chat GPT about its own
  • 00:30:10
    future and its answer felt pretty right
  • 00:30:13
    on and then quite honestly you know I
  • 00:30:15
    mean check out the news I mean there's
  • 00:30:17
    news articles that are coming about
  • 00:30:19
    feels like daily with like breakthroughs
  • 00:30:22
    in in Ai and a lot of times they'll
  • 00:30:25
    reference in those articles you know a
  • 00:30:27
    lot of existing resources and
  • 00:30:29
    applications so just check out the news
  • 00:30:32
    about Ai and you know even like
  • 00:30:33
    subscribe to a feed
  • 00:30:36
    um you know I think is is worthy
  • 00:30:38
    um and and just have information come to
  • 00:30:40
    you as it becomes most updated right but
  • 00:30:43
    but again outside of the like specifics
  • 00:30:46
    I mean just immerse yourself in that
  • 00:30:48
    world I mean you you have right the
  • 00:30:51
    internet you have search engines like I
  • 00:30:54
    mean I really think just get curious and
  • 00:30:56
    spend some time just digging and
  • 00:30:58
    guaranteed you're gonna find some gems
  • 00:31:01
    that's really good advice one more thing
  • 00:31:04
    on the cheating do's and don'ts topic
  • 00:31:07
    that I know a lot of people watching
  • 00:31:09
    will want to know is can your teachers
  • 00:31:12
    tell if you're cheating with AI yeah so
  • 00:31:16
    the answer we're just being honest right
  • 00:31:18
    the answer is sort of
  • 00:31:21
    and so what I mean by that is um I don't
  • 00:31:24
    know if you guys are familiar with like
  • 00:31:25
    spam right but if you have an internet
  • 00:31:27
    you typically get hit with Spam which is
  • 00:31:30
    maybe like an unwanted advertisement or
  • 00:31:32
    a pop-up that you didn't really like and
  • 00:31:34
    so there's all these tools that are
  • 00:31:37
    essentially spam filters right that you
  • 00:31:39
    know you set up that sort of block the
  • 00:31:41
    spam and what's amazing is like the
  • 00:31:44
    tools and the spam are increasingly in
  • 00:31:46
    this battle for like who's more
  • 00:31:48
    sophisticated and you'll block some
  • 00:31:49
    stuff but some stuff will find a way way
  • 00:31:52
    through I'd argue that's very similar to
  • 00:31:54
    what's happening in the generative AI
  • 00:31:56
    space
  • 00:31:57
    um some people will tell you that they
  • 00:32:00
    figured out a tool that that can detect
  • 00:32:02
    it chat GPT zero is one that at the Penn
  • 00:32:06
    Foster group we've been looking at we
  • 00:32:08
    have a tool called grammarly that all
  • 00:32:11
    paper submissions
  • 00:32:13
    um run through that can tell whether or
  • 00:32:15
    not for example you went and got a paper
  • 00:32:16
    from course hero or whether you used too
  • 00:32:19
    much internet citation and not an enough
  • 00:32:21
    of your own thinking but to the extent
  • 00:32:23
    that it can really tell whether or not
  • 00:32:25
    you've used like a generative AI engine
  • 00:32:27
    is back to that like spam filter race
  • 00:32:31
    sometimes we think there there's an
  • 00:32:33
    ability to figure out sometimes the
  • 00:32:35
    technology
  • 00:32:37
    um is advancing and sort of like where
  • 00:32:39
    it's going in the future I don't know
  • 00:32:41
    but right now I'd say if you listen to
  • 00:32:43
    The Experts I think they would say it's
  • 00:32:45
    we do not have a hundred percent
  • 00:32:47
    accurate way to detect and catch AI
  • 00:32:51
    which to me means that the individual
  • 00:32:53
    user has even more uh significance and
  • 00:32:57
    sort of the ethical consideration of
  • 00:33:00
    fair use and again this is a tool that
  • 00:33:03
    can be harnessed for incredible good
  • 00:33:05
    right but it also can be a tool where if
  • 00:33:08
    too many people use it to cheat you're
  • 00:33:10
    gonna see a lot of educational
  • 00:33:12
    organizations like lock it up and not
  • 00:33:15
    take full advantage of it and so I feel
  • 00:33:17
    like as a community of Learners let's
  • 00:33:19
    let's all Embrace doing our own thinking
  • 00:33:22
    and our own learning using AI is an
  • 00:33:25
    incredible tutoring tool but not as a
  • 00:33:27
    means to do the work for us because then
  • 00:33:29
    like what do you really gain right so
  • 00:33:32
    that's a long answer Jess but I just
  • 00:33:34
    felt it was worth expounding on I got
  • 00:33:36
    into education hearing myself talk if
  • 00:33:37
    you can't you can't tell
  • 00:33:40
    no that makes 100 sense and and I think
  • 00:33:43
    that that was important to cover and I
  • 00:33:45
    think in a lot of what you said earlier
  • 00:33:48
    too you know at the end of the day you
  • 00:33:51
    have to do the learning like there are
  • 00:33:52
    no shortcuts in life even if you use AI
  • 00:33:56
    or other methods of cheating to you know
  • 00:33:58
    get through your schoolwork or get
  • 00:34:00
    through whatever you're working on
  • 00:34:01
    You're Gonna Get You know it's the karma
  • 00:34:04
    will come back to you later on like you
  • 00:34:06
    still will need to have that knowledge
  • 00:34:08
    for your career or for your life so you
  • 00:34:12
    know really it is about doing the
  • 00:34:13
    learning but just using AI to expand it
  • 00:34:16
    not to
  • 00:34:18
    block you from actually you know doing
  • 00:34:20
    the right thing in your education yeah
  • 00:34:23
    that's right absolutely so I think that
  • 00:34:26
    being said there's a lot of ways that
  • 00:34:28
    you know we covered on how to use AI
  • 00:34:30
    with your education to empower it and
  • 00:34:32
    support it and a lot of what you spoke
  • 00:34:35
    about today but there are also ways to
  • 00:34:38
    use AI to support it you know in your
  • 00:34:41
    education like in task organizations but
  • 00:34:43
    then in your life and in your career
  • 00:34:46
    um so can you talk a little bit about
  • 00:34:48
    why you should learn more about Ai and
  • 00:34:51
    use it in your life
  • 00:34:53
    yeah I mean I mean it in terms of like a
  • 00:34:57
    productivity tool I mean this I don't
  • 00:35:00
    think we've seen anything right quite
  • 00:35:02
    like this and so 100 like we've covered
  • 00:35:05
    how you use AI for more explicit
  • 00:35:07
    learning and like an educational
  • 00:35:09
    environment
  • 00:35:10
    but you know there's this slogan that
  • 00:35:12
    like AI is not ai's not I mean yes it's
  • 00:35:16
    going it's going to automate and display
  • 00:35:18
    some jobs right it's also going to
  • 00:35:20
    create
  • 00:35:21
    a lot of new jobs I I think though the
  • 00:35:24
    the saying is that what AI is really
  • 00:35:26
    going to disrupt is the folks that are
  • 00:35:29
    not using AI as a productivity tool
  • 00:35:32
    right that's who's really going to be at
  • 00:35:35
    risk but the individual right who has
  • 00:35:37
    their own sort of call it like the human
  • 00:35:39
    expertise and skill set
  • 00:35:42
    powered with like AI that to me is where
  • 00:35:46
    like the magic is and so just a simple
  • 00:35:48
    example right I mean imagine let's say
  • 00:35:50
    you're a web developer or you're a coder
  • 00:35:53
    right I mean AI has the capability to
  • 00:35:57
    help you create code right or to help
  • 00:36:00
    you create web you know content and so
  • 00:36:05
    using it in your job is going to become
  • 00:36:08
    in my opinion I mean and obviously
  • 00:36:10
    certain trades more so than others but
  • 00:36:11
    it's it's almost going to become again I
  • 00:36:13
    keep going back to the example of like
  • 00:36:14
    when was the last time you used a paper
  • 00:36:16
    map right yeah it's gonna just almost
  • 00:36:18
    become common it's just like what we do
  • 00:36:21
    just like it's so often that we use the
  • 00:36:23
    internet or a computer in a lot of our
  • 00:36:26
    jobs I mean literally it's going to be
  • 00:36:27
    that common but I think if you can get
  • 00:36:28
    in early right now you can really
  • 00:36:30
    distinguish
  • 00:36:31
    um and separate yourself I was talking
  • 00:36:32
    to a good friend of mine this weekend
  • 00:36:34
    who happens to be
  • 00:36:36
    um uh own a small investing firm and
  • 00:36:39
    they focus really on sociable socially
  • 00:36:41
    responsible investing he's never really
  • 00:36:43
    used AI before I was like have it write
  • 00:36:45
    you a business plan have it draft you
  • 00:36:47
    weekly Communications and we just went
  • 00:36:49
    down the list he's like oh my gosh
  • 00:36:51
    because I never knew all the
  • 00:36:52
    possibilities so absolutely to work but
  • 00:36:55
    same is true of life right I mean you
  • 00:36:58
    want to learn about gardening you wanna
  • 00:37:00
    you wanna know tips on how to like coach
  • 00:37:03
    kids in sports I mean it's like a much
  • 00:37:07
    more sophisticated version of Google
  • 00:37:09
    because the insight and the feedback
  • 00:37:12
    that you get is far more tailored and I
  • 00:37:15
    would argue at least currently less
  • 00:37:16
    economically motivated meaning that like
  • 00:37:19
    someone didn't pay to have what they
  • 00:37:21
    think rise to the top
  • 00:37:23
    um of the search so I I really think
  • 00:37:26
    that not only can AI be a huge benefit
  • 00:37:28
    for education but it can be a huge
  • 00:37:30
    benefit in life and career 100 percent
  • 00:37:34
    I think in a lot of what you just said
  • 00:37:36
    too it seems like AI can be useful and
  • 00:37:38
    kind of giving you the base like
  • 00:37:39
    figuring out the base business plan
  • 00:37:41
    figuring out the outline of your paper
  • 00:37:43
    and then it leaves you with a lot more
  • 00:37:45
    room for creativity to figure out how to
  • 00:37:48
    really take that base and make it
  • 00:37:50
    something special and get curious and
  • 00:37:53
    and you know pour your life experience
  • 00:37:55
    and creativity and your heart in it and
  • 00:37:57
    I think that that's really cool that it
  • 00:37:59
    saves you the time and you know how to
  • 00:38:02
    do something and then you get to use
  • 00:38:04
    your critical thinking abilities to fill
  • 00:38:06
    in the rest
  • 00:38:08
    I think that's it I mean I think that's
  • 00:38:10
    I think that's my hope where we go
  • 00:38:14
    awesome
  • 00:38:16
    well
  • 00:38:19
    I just feel like I I learned so much and
  • 00:38:23
    I'm sure everybody watching feels the
  • 00:38:25
    exact same way I mean we could sit here
  • 00:38:27
    and talk about this for hours and hours
  • 00:38:29
    especially with someone with as much
  • 00:38:31
    expertise as you Andy so just genuinely
  • 00:38:34
    thank you from me and Lauren and
  • 00:38:36
    everybody watching for taking the time
  • 00:38:38
    to to talk about this like super
  • 00:38:40
    important relevant kind of ambiguous
  • 00:38:44
    topic
  • 00:38:45
    um for our our Facebook audience it's
  • 00:38:48
    been really great
  • 00:38:49
    that's great thanks Justin Lauren even
  • 00:38:52
    if I could maybe just one thing to the
  • 00:38:53
    audience just to like maybe end with
  • 00:38:56
    like the significance here uh the CEO of
  • 00:38:59
    Google uh recently said that the gender
  • 00:39:01
    of uh AI technology is more significant
  • 00:39:05
    breakthrough than electricity
  • 00:39:07
    so those are not that's not someone who
  • 00:39:10
    just goes out and says stuff that says
  • 00:39:12
    it right so that's a significant comment
  • 00:39:15
    and I just encourage you to take that in
  • 00:39:18
    for a second and then think about the
  • 00:39:20
    fact that we're kind of in the early
  • 00:39:21
    days of this and so lean in right think
  • 00:39:25
    about right think about embracing it and
  • 00:39:28
    getting curious and maybe even getting
  • 00:39:30
    excited because you know especially from
  • 00:39:32
    a learning perspective I think the
  • 00:39:34
    possibilities are tremendously exciting
  • 00:39:37
    and I really hope you take advantage of
  • 00:39:39
    it
  • 00:39:41
    that's a really good insight and advice
  • 00:39:43
    thank you so much for sharing that thank
  • 00:39:45
    you for joining us I'm sure we'll have a
  • 00:39:47
    follow-up conversation about this a year
  • 00:39:49
    from now and who knows what'll change
  • 00:39:51
    with how fast uh AI is developing but
  • 00:39:54
    this was an awesome conversation today
  • 00:39:56
    thank you so much Andy thank you for
  • 00:39:57
    everyone watching we hope you all dabble
  • 00:39:59
    in Ai and take the time to learn more
  • 00:40:02
    about it and we'll be sharing more from
  • 00:40:04
    the Penn Foster side as as we come up
  • 00:40:07
    with resources and ways to help you use
  • 00:40:10
