Introduction
Education stands on the brink of a transformative era as artificial intelligence (AI) penetrates
classrooms at an accelerating pace. Once confined to the realms of science fiction, AI now
promises to revolutionize the delivery of education, offering renewed prospects for both
students and educators alike. This technological advancement holds immense potential for
fostering self-directed learning, enhancing pedagogical flexibility, and promoting information
literacy. However, it also beckons uncertainties and prompts crucial inquiries into its
ramifications on the knowledge bearers of the education system - the teachers.
All human actions are based on anticipated futures. We cannot know the future because it
does not exist yet, but we can use our current knowledge to imagine futures and make them
happen. The better we understand the present and the history that has created it, the better we
can understand the possibilities of the future. To appreciate the opportunities and challenges
that artificial intelligence (AI) creates, we need both good understanding of what AI is today
and what the future may bring when AI is widely used in the society. AI can enable new
ways of learning, teaching and education, and it may also change the society in ways that
pose new challenges for educational institutions. It may amplify skill differences and polarize
jobs, or it may equalize opportunities for learning. The use of AI in education may generate
insights on how learning happens, and it can change the way learning is assessed. It may re-
organize classrooms or make them obsolete, it can increase the efficiency of teaching, or it
may force students to adapt to the requirements of technology, depriving humans from the
powers of agency and possibilities for responsible action. All this is possible. Now is a good
time to start thinking about what AI could mean for learning, teaching, and education. There
is a lot of hype, and the topic is not an easy one. It is, however, both important, interesting,
and worth the effort.
This study embarks on an exploration of the continuity of knowledge and learning, with a
primary focus on its repercussions on the lives and professions of those engaged in the field
of education. Through meticulous research rooted in real-world observations, we endeavor to
illuminate the enthralling benefits and challenges that AI presents to educators. This report
delineates opportunities to harness AI for educational enhancement, identifies potential
impediments, and formulates recommendations to inform policy development.

Review of Literature

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence has many different definitions. AI is a machine that thinks, understands
languages, solves problems, diagnoses medical conditions, keeps cars on the highways, plays
chess, and paints impressionistic imitations of van Gogh paintings. AI is often defined as a
computer system with the ability to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent
beings. As this definition somewhat problematically requires us to define intelligence and is
inconveniently tautological, artificial intelligence is now commonly defined as a scientific
discipline; as the activity that creates machines that can function appropriately and with
foresight in their environment. The first explicit definition of artificial intelligence was
suggested in a funding proposal to the Rockefeller Foundation in 1955. It was based on the
“conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle
be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.” This early definition
rapidly led to deep controversies. In practice, the early developers of AI interpreted
intelligence and thinking as mechanical processing of logical statements, thus, in effect,
defining human intelligence as computation of truth values. This interpretation was
historically aligned with logical positivism and attempts to formalize mathematics using
purely syntactic means, but it also raised important questions about the philosophical
foundations of AI.
In the following section, we propose a different way to understand the nature of AI. It will
help us locate the different capabilities of different types of AI in the context of learning.
Adaptability, learning, and anticipatory action are commonly viewed as key characteristics of
AI. We therefore use a theory of human action and learning as a starting point. For this we
use a three-level model, along the lines of cultural-historical activity theory and a similar
model proposed by Harré, Clarke and Carlo.
Cultural-historical theory of activity distinguishes three hierarchically linked levels of human
behaviour. First, behaviour can be analysed as socially meaningful activity directed by
culturally and socially constructed motives. Activity is realized through goal-oriented acts
that essentially are ways of solving problems at hand that need to be solved to accomplish the
activity. Operations, in turn, implement the acts in the present situation and concrete context,
using the tools available. An important aspect of this three-level hierarchy is that the levels
cannot be reduced to each other. We can explain the meaning of an activity only using social,
cultural and historical terms that do not make sense at the level of acts or operations. For
example, we can explain the object and motive of activity by saying that we are teaching
children so that they become citizens, realize their potential as human beings, and get good
jobs. The "content" of this activity—how it is translated into concrete acts—depends on
social institutions, norms, social division of labour and knowing, the ways in which social
production is organized, and many other similar things. Most importantly, we rarely are
explicitly aware of all those social factors that shape our activities. Cultural norms, values,
expectations, social institutions, and other essentially contextual factors shape our activities
and provide a tacit normative, emotional, and anticipatory background that allows the
ongoing stream of activity to go on. This is also the level that provides the foundation for
ethics of action.

The relation between acts and activity is, thus, similar to the relation between words and
utterances. We need words to express utterances, and acts to express activity. It is, however,
impossible to understand the meaning of an utterance by adding up definitions of words. On
the contrary, the sense of the word depends on its role in the context of an utterance. A
written sentence needs words, and words need letters, but the meaning of a sentence cannot
be found by studying letters or words. This, in effect, says that it is not possible to build
models of human activity from bottom up, simply combining some elementary behavioural
components. Activity, properly understood, requires social and inter-generational learning,
and the level of human activity cannot be accessed simply by empirical observation of human
behaviour. The level of acts, in contrast, consists of externally and internally observable
behaviour. Whereas the level of activity answers a socially, culturally, and historically
meaningful question "why", the level of acts answers the question "what". This is also the
level where we think with concepts, plan, and solve problems. If we call the level of activity a
“cultural” level, the level of acts could perhaps be called “cognitive.” A description of
teaching at this level could be, for example, that “I am authoring course material for the
class.” The third level of operations addresses the question "how." It implements acts in
concrete settings. For example, there are many ways to assess student skills, many kinds of
homework, and many ways to deliver homework to students. This is the level where
technology operates as a tool, and where behaviour can be best understood as routine and
habit. A description of teaching activity at this level could be, for example, that “I’m inserting
a picture on a slide.”
Psychologists and learning theorists have focused on different levels of this three-level
hierarchy during the last century. Behaviouristic and associationist theories of learning have
addressed mainly the level of operations. Cognitivist and constructivist theorists have mainly
addressed the cognitive level, with constructionists also emphasizing the material, affective,
and social context. Socio-cultural theorists, in turn, have often focused on the social, cultural
and materially embedded dimensions of knowing and learning. Figure 1 depicts these three
levels and maps some well-known learning theorists to these levels. Human learning occurs
on all three levels of the activity hierarchy. When habit and routine hits an obstacle, we
become aware of it, operation ceases, and action replaces it. We start to interpret the problem,
and try to find a solution. At this level, learning consists of problem solving, creative
reframing, and formation of new anticipatory models. New ways of doing and thinking
emerge, can be internalized, and can become the basis for new habits and routines. Lev
Vygotsky, the founder of cultural-historical theory, however, also pointed to the importance
of the social and cultural level of activities that shape human thinking and learning.
Advanced forms of thought are made possible because they rely on culturally and historically
developed stocks of knowing. Cognitive level acts, thus, use resources from both the top level
of activity and the bottom level of operations. Whereas Vygotsky emphasized the influence
of social and cultural factors in cognitive development, critical pedagogists such as Paulo
Freire and newer activity theorists such as Yrjö Engeström have emphasized the role of
learning in changing existing social practices. Engeström, in particular, has highlighted the
role of learning in the creation of new educational practices.

Figure 1. Three levels of human and machine learning

In this conceptual frame, learning at the level of activity can be understood as innovation and
realization of imagined futures. Possibilities that have been figured out at the level of
cognition can start to change social practices and systems of activities, eventually leading to
new motives and reasons that start to organize the society. Much of this activity-level
development, however, is also emergent and unintended. Social structures, practices and
institutions get their shape as a result of complex ongoing social interaction and highly
diversified interests and interpretations, and to a large extent remain unobservable for the
members of society.
This three-level model provides a useful entry point for understanding artificial intelligence
and its potential impact on human activities. When AI enters social practices at the level of
operations, it augments and complements them, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
current ways of doing things. When it enters at the level of acts, it replaces, substitutes, and
automates acts that were previously done by humans. When it enters social practice at the
level of activity, it transforms the system of motives, making current activities and
specializations redundant and obsolete. For example, technical and routine skills emphasize
the level of operations. Vocational education has traditionally focused on this level, teaching
students how to use tools and domain-specific knowledge. The recent calls for competence-
based education, in turn, emphasize problem solving, critical thinking, decision-making and
analytical skills, focusing on the cognitive level. Entrepreneurial and innovation
competences, highlighted in frameworks for key competences and 21st century skills, mainly
address the opportunities for social and cultural change at the level of activities.
Consequently, learning at the level of operations requires data on the current concrete
environment. This data can be generated using perception and physical interaction. Learning
at the level of socially motivated activity, in contrast, requires knowledge about social
systems of meaning. To gain such knowledge, communication, language, and dialogue
become necessary. An important indicator of the current change in the dynamics of
development is that whereas technology in the industrial age focused on tools for automating
and supporting operations, the focus is now increasingly on technologies for social change.
The three levels of activity have complex dependencies. In the course of historical
development, what originally was a means may become an end in itself. “Zooming in” to
modern social life, therefore, we may see a rather fractal structure or activities and acts.
Using this three-level model of activity, it becomes, however, clear that different types of
artificial intelligence and machine learning systems operate on different layers of this
hierarchy. Most importantly, the level of meaningful activity, which according to socio-
cultural theories of learning underpins advanced forms of human intelligence and learning,
remains beyond the current state of the AI art. This paradigm is currently being explored in
the field of Child-Robot Interaction and social robotics. In the next section, we briefly outline
the main characteristics of three different types of AI to locate their capabilities in this
hierarchy, and discuss their potential impact.
Three types of AI
The history of AI can relatively cleanly be categorized into three alternative approaches:
data-based, logic-based, and knowledge-based. The first of these is now also called artificial
neural networks and machine learning. Perhaps surprisingly, the recent successes in AI also
represent the oldest approach to AI.
Data-based neural AI
Mathematical models of neural networks were first developed by Nicolas Rashevsky in the
early 1930s, and they became famous when his student Walter Pitts interpreted biological
neural networks in 1942 as networks of logical switches. The publication of these ideas by
Warren McCulloch and Pitts occurred at a time when Alan Turing had shown that formal
logic can be mechanized and the first digital computers were being developed. It was
therefore quickly recognized that all formal logical operations could be simulated by such
neural networks. Brain started to look like a computer, and the computer became known as
the electronic brain. This two-way metaphor has since then become widely influential. It
underpins cognitive science and research in organizational information processing, and now
influences economics, connectivist models of learning, and many areas of scientific and
popular thinking.
The present neural AI is to a large extent based on neural network models that were informed
by neurobiology. An important early contribution was made by Frank Rosenblatt in 1958,
when he—inspired by neuropsychologist Donald Hebb’s idea that learning occurs in neural
networks through synaptic modifications and economist Friedrich Hayek’s work on
distributed learning—suggested that learning in biological neural networks could be modelled
as gradual change in network connections. The multi-layer photo-perceptron described by
Rosenblatt is in many ways identical to current state-of-the-art image processing neural
networks. Its main difference with today’s neural AI systems is that modern systems have
very many “neural layers,” and “deep learning” in such multi-layer networks is done using
machines that are about trillion times faster than the IBM 704 computer that Rosenblatt used
for his experiments.

Figure 2: Organization of a perceptron

The distinctive characteristics of most neural AI systems are their simple behaviouristic
learning models, very high computational needs during learning, and their need for data. For
these systems, the availability of data is the most critical success factor. Using biological
terminology, they could be called “datavores.” Because of this, we call this the “data-based”
approach to AI.
Logic- and knowledge-based AI
Neural network models were popular in the 1950s and 1960s. They were also a key area of
study—among learning, language, creativity, and abstraction—in the Dartmouth summer
research project in 1956 that established the term Artificial Intelligence. Although work
continued on neural networks, research on AI soon moved to “symbolic processing.” As
mathematicians and logic-oriented philosophers had since Hilbert and Russell believed that
logical truths could be derived by formal manipulation of sentences, it was apparent that
computers could do all those inferences that are logical. A pioneering effort in this line of AI
was the Logic Theorist, developed by Allen Newell, John Shaw, and Herbert Simon over the
Christmas break in 1955. It was able to manipulate logical statements and derive proofs for
logical theorems, and its creators were certain that they had produced a machine that thinks.
The Logic Theorist was soon followed by the General Problem Solver that was supposed to
be able to solve any logically well-defined problem that had a solution. This logic-oriented
approach to AI was the dominant one from the late 1950s to early 1970s.
By the 1970s it was generally acknowledged that human thinking cannot be simulated just by
formal manipulation of logical statements. As a result, domain-specific knowledge and
different ways of representing knowledge became the central focus of AI research. This led to
what is now known as "expert systems" or, more broadly, knowledge-based systems. Early
examples of these include the SHRDLU natural language understanding program and the
MYCIN medical diagnostic system that recommended antibiotics and their dosage based on
the symptoms and the patient. Knowledge-based systems typically consisted of a relatively
general "inference engine" and a domain-specific "knowledge base" that was used to make
inferences based on human input. In particular, in expert systems, domain knowledge tried to
imitate knowledge structures used by human experts. Expert systems were very popular in the
1980s, with two thirds of Fortune 500 companies using them in the daily activities. Since
then they have been widely used in various sectors of economy, for example in the financial
sector, logistics, semiconductor chip design, manufacturing planning, and business process
automation. Many expert systems have also been developed for learning and education since
the early 1980s.
The interest in knowledge-based AI waned towards the end of 1980s as it became clear that
the development of domain-specific knowledge bases required specialized knowledge
engineers, and also because the spread of computer networking and the Internet shifted the
interests towards system integration and automation of routine business processes. Many
ideas from stand-alone expert systems are now widely used in standard programming
environments. As the boom of knowledge-based AI decayed at the end of the 1980s, neural
AI research became again popular for a few years. Difficulties associated with parallel
programming and system integration, however, kept most neural AI systems in university
laboratories, and attention moved to new areas such as mobile computing and the World-
Wide Web.
From a practical point of view, both logic-based and knowledge-based approaches in AI
focus on the cognitive level of activity hierarchy. They also interpreted cognition in a purely
individualistic way. Logic-based AI tried to develop general algorithms for thinking that
manipulate symbols, arguing that this is what also humans do. Whereas logic-based systems
focused on general problem-solving processes, knowledge-based approaches used simple
models of inference and more elaborate representations of domain-specific knowledge,
arguing that effective decision-making requires more knowledge than logic. In contrast,
machine learning and artificial neural networks typically use learning models that can be
characterized as behaviouristic. These systems are typically provided with vast amounts of
data and pre-defined criteria for optimal response. In these systems, the algorithms do not try
to imitate human intelligence; instead, they define strategies for adapting system output to
expected output using extensive amounts of what is called “training data”. In some
applications, such as games, this training data can be automatically generated; in most
currently important neural AI systems the data are provided by humans. For example, the
development of state-of-the-art image recognition AI systems now, to a large extent, relies on
the publicly available ImageNet database that consists of 14 million images. The labelling of
objects in these images was done in 2007-2010 using the Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
crowdsourcing platform by 48,940 people in 167 countries.
Surging Interest in AI within Education
A burgeoning imperative to augment teaching and learning experiences impels educators to
seek technological solutions that are both efficacious and harbinger great promise. As they
undertake capacity building endeavors, educators are turning their gaze towards the evolving
technological landscape of our daily lives, pondering its potential efficacy in educational
contexts. Analogous to the general populace, educators are integrating AI-powered services
into their daily routines, encompassing home voice assistants, grammar correction tools,
language completion aids, and itinerary planners on handheld devices. With the recent
proliferation of smart devices, educators are actively exploring their potential applications
within educational settings.
These educators discern the potential endowed by AI-driven features, such as speech
recognition, to furnish additional support to students with disabilities and facilitate
multilingual proficiency, alongside myriad transformations in self-directed learning and
digital learning tools. Of particular interest is the utilization of AI to streamline tasks
encompassing curriculum enhancement and the curation, selection, and updating of
instructional materials.
From : Exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on teaching and learning in higher
education
There is consistent evidence that AI solutions open a new horizon of possibilities for teaching
and learning in higher education. However, it is important to admit the current limits of
technology and admit that AI is not (yet) ready to replace teachers, but is presenting the real
possibility to augment them. We are now seeing computing algorithms impacting on the most
mundane aspects of daily life, from individuals’ credit scores to employability. Higher
education is placed at the center of this profound change, which brings with it both
extraordinary opportunities and risks. This important crossroad requires careful consideration
and analysis from an academic perspective, especially as we can find tendencies to look at
technological progress as a solution or replacement for sound pedagogical solutions or good
teaching. The real potential of technology in higher education is—when properly used—to
extend human capabilities and possibilities of teaching, learning, and research. The purpose
of this paper is to kindle scholarly discussions on the evolving field of artificial intelligence
in higher education. This stays aligned with some of the most ambitious research agendas in
the field, such as the “National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic
Plan,” released by the US President Barack Obama in October 2016. The Report states that
“the walls between humans and AI systems are slowly beginning to erode, with AI systems
augmenting and enhancing human capabilities. Fundamental research is needed to develop
effective methods for human-AI interaction and collaboration” (U.S. National Science and
Technology Council 2016).
Unveiling Opportunities with AI in Education
This section delineates how AI stands poised to alleviate educators from mundane tasks such
as grading and data management, thereby affording them more time to engage in their true
passion: nurturing critical thinking, creativity, and exploration among students. Moreover, we
explore how cognitive skills can be harnessed to individualize learning experiences, tailoring
them to the unique needs and proclivities of each student. Finally, we delve into how AI can
furnish educators with deeper insights into the learning processes of their students, thereby
enabling more effective pedagogical interventions.
From : Exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on teaching and learning in higher
education
The introduction and adoption of new technologies in learning and teaching has rapidly
evolved over the past 30 years. Looking through the current lens, it is easy to forget the
debates that have raged in our institutions over students being allowed to use what are now
regarded as rudimentary technologies. In a longitudinal study of accommodations for students
with a disability conducted between 1993 and 2005 in the USA, authors remind us of how
contentious the debate was surrounding the use of the calculators and spell check programs
for students with a disability none-the-less the general student body (Lazarus et al. 2008).
Assistive technologies—such as text to speech, speech to text, zoom capacity, predictive text,
spell checkers, and search engines—are just some examples of technologies initially designed
to assist people with a disability. The use of these techno-logical solutions was later
expanded, and we find them now as generic features in all personal computers, handheld
devices or wearable devices. These technologies now augment the learning interactions of all
students globally, enhancing possibilities opened for teaching and design of educational
experiences.
Navigating Challenges as AI Reshapes Educational Roles
Concurrently, we confront the prospect of AI fundamentally altering the modus operandi of
educators. We scrutinize the ramifications of AI usurping tasks traditionally executed by
human educators, alongside concerns pertaining to potential job displacement and intellectual
property rights. These deliberations encompass thorny issues surrounding privacy and equity
in the realm of AI deployment. Our endeavor is to ensure that AI augments learning
opportunities for all while safeguarding against any inadvertent marginalization.
From : Exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on teaching and learning in higher
education
As we note that significant advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence open new
possibilities and challenges for higher education, it is important to observe that education is
eminently a human-centric endeavor, not a technology centric solu-tion. Despite rapid
advancements in AI, the idea that we can solely rely on technology is a dangerous path, and it
is important to maintain focus on the idea that humans should identify problems, critique,
identify risks, and ask important questions that can start from issues such as privacy, power
structures, and control to the requirement of nurturing creativity and leaving an open door to
serendipity and unexpected paths in teaching and learning. The hype on AI can lead to an
unquestioned panacea that can leave many who are on their path to higher learning under the
wheels of reality, such as that tragic event of the driver led under a truck by what was
considered to be a matchless software. Maintaining academic skepticism on this issue is
especially import-ant in education, as this is an act that can be reduced to information
delivery and recollection; we need to maintain its aim to build educated minds and
responsible citizens that are attached to general values of humanism.

Charting a Course Amidst AI in Education

In conclusion, we undertake a balanced appraisal of the merits and demerits of AI in the
educational landscape, with educators occupying a central position in our inquiry. Guided by
empirical evidence, astute reasoning, and judicious analysis, we aspire to shape a future
wherein AI serves as an ally to educators, enriching educational experiences and fostering
inclusivity. Our odyssey resembles that of researchers navigating the interplay between
machines and humans in educational settings. Join us as we embark on this voyage of
exploration and contemplation, envisaging a future where technology fortifies the bond
between educators and learners, ushering in a new chapter of educational excellence.

THE DIGITAL WORKFORCE AND THE WORKPLACE OF THE FUTURE
Authors: Amy Colbert, Nick Yee, Gerard George
Competencies of the Digital Workforce

The digital workforce, encompassing both digital natives and digital immigrants, has
developed a range of competencies through their interactions with technology. Digital
fluency is a key competency, which includes the ability to use technology to achieve strategic
goals, manipulate information, and creatively solve problems. This fluency is not limited to
younger generations; rather, it is the extent of technology use that predicts proficiency. For
instance, both digital natives and immigrants may possess high levels of digital fluency
necessary for data manipulation, creative representation, and problem-solving (Hsi, 2007;
Bennett, Maton, & Kervin, 2008).

Digital fluency extends beyond basic application use, encompassing a strategic understanding
and use of technology to drive organizational goals. Additionally, engagement with
technology can develop other skills, such as leadership, as evidenced by research on the
benefits of playing online games and interacting in virtual worlds (Yee, 2014). Furthermore,
competencies in using virtual collaboration tools (e.g., Google Drive, Trello, Yammer) and
leveraging social media for organizational benefit are crucial. These skills are essential as
organizations increasingly rely on digital and virtual collaboration (Kumar et al., 2016).

Redesigning Work for a Digital Workforce

With the increasing digital fluency of the workforce, organizations must consider redesigning
work to leverage these competencies. Technology-based instruction can provide low-cost,
scalable solutions for employee development. Virtual collaboration tools are becoming vital
as co-located teams become less common. The digital workforce's familiarity with such tools
can facilitate efficient project management and communication across dispersed teams.
Furthermore, the advent of advanced technologies, such as virtual reality, can enhance the
presence and interaction in virtual teams, addressing some of the challenges posed by
virtuality (Gilson et al., 2015; Cummings & Bailenson, 2015).

Challenges and Considerations

While the digital workforce brings numerous benefits, there are challenges to be addressed.
The blurred lines between work and non-work domains due to technology can lead to
increased work-family conflict and reduced opportunities for relaxation and psychological
detachment. Studies have shown that responding to work emails outside of work hours is
associated with higher levels of anger and conflict (Butts, Becker, & Boswell, 2015).
Additionally, organizations must manage the varying levels of digital fluency among
employees, especially as older workers may not be as comfortable with new technologies.
This variance can impact collaboration and productivity if not managed effectively.

Overall, leveraging the competencies of the digital workforce while mitigating the potential
downsides of technology use is crucial for future organizational success. Research into job
design, team management, and the integration of advanced technologies will be essential to
fully capitalize on the digital workforce's potential.

Title: Managing the Strategic Transformation of Higher Education through Artificial

Intelligence
Authors: Babu George (Alcorn State University), Ontario Wooden (North Carolina State
University)
The Promise of Personalized Learning:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in various sectors, including
higher education. In recent years, the application of AI technologies in higher education
institutions has gained significant attention due to its potential to revolutionize teaching,
learning, and administrative processes.
One area where AI holds promise is in enhancing personalized learning experiences for
students. By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI algorithms can provide insights into
individual learning preferences, strengths, and areas needing improvement. This enables
educators to tailor instructional content and strategies to meet the diverse needs of students,
ultimately leading to improved learning outcomes.
