Seminar 10 - Character Development: The Missing Piece in AI Education

 

Course Title: Character Development: The Missing Piece in AI Education

 

I. Details of the event/activity

        On December 16, 2023, I attended this really interesting webinar hosted by Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Pendidikan Teknik Nilai on Zoom. They dived into a topic I hadn't thought much about: "Character Development: The Missing Piece in AI Education." The speakers, all women from different countries, made it even more fascinating. They talked about what makes robots, humans, and machines unique and highlighted the importance of character development in AI education.

            What stood out was the diverse perspectives the speakers brought to the table. It wasn't just a lecture; it was like a conversation. We got to discuss and understand the roles of machines, humans, and robots better. It was eye-opening to see how these aspects play into the broader landscape of artificial intelligence and its impact on education.

 

II. Reflections on the webinar/activity give rise to (learnings)

         Reflecting on this webinar, I find myself contemplating the intricacies of "Character Development: The Missing Piece in AI Education." The discussion about the distinctions between robots, humans, and machines prompted me to rethink how we perceive these entities in the context of education.

            The emphasis on character development struck a chord, making me realize its often-overlooked role in the realm of artificial intelligence. It made me ponder how nurturing qualities like empathy, ethics, and emotional intelligence in AI systems could significantly impact their interaction with humans.

 

III. Reflections on possibilities of implementing some of the webinar input on a practical level (practical application of learning)

        The practical learnings from this webinar encompass the application of character development in artificial intelligence education, strategies for fostering qualities like empathy and ethics in AI systems, understanding the distinctions between robots, humans, and machines for enhanced decision-making, incorporating global perspectives into AI education, actively engaging in discussions about the evolving roles of technology, honing critical thinking skills for ethical considerations, and improving communication skills to convey complex concepts in both professional and educational settings. These insights provide a tangible foundation for participants to apply in real-world scenarios, contributing to a more ethically informed and holistic approach to the development and integration of artificial intelligence.

 

IV. Positive Feedback (on the event organization)

            My positive feedback on this is that even females can really do understand the world of the IT industry, given the fact that some people underestimate men to women in terms of this topic but, all in all... it was a nice and beautiful webinar. Their voice is very clear and they are very lively, especially Ms. Lim.

 

V. Suggestions for improvements to be made/considered for future activities

            I'd like to offer a suggestion—I really wish they could extend the webinar duration. The session was only 45 minutes long, and both I and the other participants were left wanting more. There's so much more we could learn and see through additional information and demonstrations during the webinar.
