The tech world says generative artificial intelligence is essential for the future of work and learning. But as an educator, I still wonder: Is it really worth bringing it into the classroom? Will these tools truly help students learn, or create new challenges we haven’t yet faced?The tech world says generative artificial intelligence is essential for the future of work and learning.

Artificial intelligence may take over some tasks and transform others, but one thing is certain: it’s reshaping the job market. Researchers at USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI) analyzed LinkedIn job postings and AI-related patent filings to measure which jobs are most exposed, and where those changes are happening first.Artificial intelligence may take over some tasks and transform others, but one thing is certain: it’s reshaping the job market.

AI image generation—which relies on neural networks to create new images from a variety of inputs, including text prompts—is projected to become a billion-dollar industry by the end of this decade. Even with today’s technology, if you wanted to make a fanciful picture of, say, a friend planting a flag on Mars or heedlessly flying into a black hole, it could take less than a second.AI image generation—which relies on neural networks to create new images from a variety of inputs, including text prompts—is projected to become a billion-dollar industry by the end of this decade.

As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT continue to advance, user expectations of them keep growing, including with respect to how quickly they can respond to our increasingly intricate prompts requesting answers to ever-challenging problems and tasks.As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT continue to advance, user expectations of them keep growing, including with respect to how quickly they can respond to our increasingly intricate prompts requesting answers to ever-challenging problems and tasks.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]
In the race to develop AI that understands complex images like financial forecasts, medical diagrams and nutrition labels—essential for AI to operate independently in everyday settings—closed-source systems like ChatGPT and Claude currently set the pace. But no one outside their makers knows how those models were trained or what data they used, leaving open-source alternatives scrambling to catch up.In the race to develop AI that understands complex images like financial forecasts, medical diagrams and nutrition labels—essential for AI to operate independently in everyday settings—closed-source systems like ChatGPT and Claude currently set the pace.
