Musician Ashley MacIsaac faces fallout after mistaken identity case

"The offences they were referring to included internet luring and sexual assault.

An apparent Google search using AI, which has now been corrected, recently described the popular fiddler as a criminal sex offender.

But the sex offender was another man with the last name MacIsaac."

Back to the Future: Implementing Large-Scale Oral Exams - Tiffany Bayley, Kyle D. S. Maclean, Tessa Weidner, 2024

"We did something unthinkable: we used an oral exam in our undergraduate business analytics course where course enrollment exceeded 600 students. ConVOEs, Concurrent Video-Based Oral Exams, are assessments conducted through a learning management system whereby all students simultaneously engage in an exam and submit a video of themselves responding to each question. By limiting the time frame over which the assessment can be completed, ConVOEs resemble a sort of conversation, as students must respond in real time to each question and demonstrate their understanding of course material in their own words. The conception of this format, though initially motivated by the shift to online learning during the pandemic, is particularly relevant as richer forms of communication are highly sought by employers yet absent from many business courses, and serves to highlight the old adage, “Everything old is new again.”"

Cours : initIAtion | Cégep de Saint-Laurent

"La trousse initIAtion est née du projet IA & Réussite mené au cégep de Saint-Laurent en 2023-2024. Ce projet visait à mieux cerner les usages, les attentes et les préoccupations des membres de la communauté collégiale face à l’émergence de l’intelligence artificielle générative (IAg) dans les pratiques académiques. Une consultation menée auprès du corps professoral et des personnes étudiantes a permis d’identifier des besoins concrets : comprendre le fonctionnement des outils d’IAg, encadrer leur usage en contexte éducatif et soutenir le développement d’une posture critique."

Un programme national pour préparer les étudiants à l’IA

"Par le biais de vidéo et d’études de cas, ce cours aborde les bases de l’intelligence artificielle, surtout générative, les principales questions éthiques et les premières applications dans le monde du travail. Il met aussi les étudiants en garde contre les risques des programmes, comme les préjugés, les problèmes de véracité et les questions de vie privée."

"Remember, you are not being replaced. You are being empowered.

AI can help you move faster, write smarter, and think bigger. But only if you use it with intention. Only if you stay rooted in what matters most: the people for whom you’re designing learning."

IA en enseignement supérieur : une aide invisible mais bien présente

"Depuis quelques années, les enseignants font face à un défi de taille : le recours par certains étudiants à l'intelligence artificielle, comme ChatGPT, qui peut engendrer de la tricherie et du plagiat. Le cégep de Sainte-Foy a été l’un des premiers à mettre en place une formation obligatoire pour les étudiants afin d'encadrer l'utilisation de l’IA. Une nouvelle réalité qui force aussi les enseignants à repenser leurs méthodes d'évaluation. Le reportage de Yasmine Khayat."

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce

"Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday released a study that found that artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, or as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, health care and professional services.

The study was conducted using a labor simulation tool called the Iceberg Index, which was created by MIT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The index simulates how 151 million U.S. workers interact across the country and how they are affected by AI and corresponding policy."

Object to Idea: Information Paradigms at the Dawn of AI – Future Text Lab

"We find ourselves amid a paradigm shift much like the one we see in the sciences between Copernicus and Newton (Kuhn, 1959). During these periods past methods and thought patterns were discredited but new patterns had not yet emerged.
 
This paper will argue that we are in the late stages of such a period now. The primacy of physical media as the primary conduit of ideas and legitimacy is being questioned across a broad spectrum of intellectual practice. However, the legitimacy of printed text still dominates, much like the earth-centric views of the solar system hung on for over a century after Copernicus."
