Focus Event 6: Imagine 2030: AI-Empowered Learning (Room 320GH)

Join us for a fireside chat debate where panelists (four humans and one artificially intelligent bot) are asked to imagine what learning will look like in 2030. AI is poised to revolutionize how we approach training and learning; these panelists will share their perspectives on the dramatic impact that AI will have on that future. And while the human panelists lay out their vision, the AI panelist — driven by a cutting-edge, I/ITSEC-trained generative language model — will be creatively answering questions and providing its own vision in real-time. The world is searching for better and more productive ways to incorporate AI in our lives. The military services are exploring the potential for AI to increase warfighter readiness, enable precision training, and ensure overmatch. And while AI is being used largely experimentally today, the potential is high for significant AI-driven increases in training effectiveness in the years to come. One key topic for the discussion is how AI can go beyond generating learning materials and experiences. It is important to start thinking now of how we will incorporate more capable AI as instructors and even student/trainee peers, enabling collaboration and co-learning. Much in the same way we imagine AI being embedded in the learning of the future, we plan to embed AI into our panel discussion as well. These panelists have both diverse perspectives and diverse backgrounds, ranging from academic to military to industry. Come and find out what each of our panelists have to share regarding the dramatic impact that AI will have on (and in) the future of learning.
