The speaker at the Jan. 17 Rotary Club of Kirksville meeting was Diane Richmond, Director of Learning Technologies & Instructional Design at Truman State University. She spoke about Artificial Intelligence (AI) which can be both good and bad. In healthcare, it can aid in diagnosis and provide assistance in surgery. It can help detect fraud in finance and provide better recommendations in a retail setting. In entertainment, it can be dangerous and result in jobs being lost, replacing artists. AI can provide false information and misrepresentations. It can be particularly troublesome in education. In order to catch cheats, Richmond recommends that educators have students write something during class. Students need to add citations which AI won’t produce.
