Relevance

The proposal, "Inclusive Intelligence: Harnessing AI to Foster Automation, Diversity, and Personalization" relates to the teaching or learning of information literacy by leveraging AI technologies to create more accessible, tailored, and diverse learning experiences. Conversations pertaining to accessible information, personalized learning, and adaptive content delivery will be introduced by the presenter. Improved media, enhanced information literacy, and inclusive educational designs will be shared as evidence of the emergence of a more globally informed society. The presenter will share the ways in which the teaching or learning of information literacy through Artificial Intelligence will bridge the vast digital divide.

Proposal

Artificial Intelligence offers transformative opportunities to enhance automation, diversity, and personalization in academic environments. By examining case studies and trends in data science, the presenter will discuss methods in which AI can be leveraged to improve learning outcomes and promote optimized applications with equitable access for all users, including individuals from underrepresented populations. Furthermore, examples of ethical implications of AI on such categorizations as data privacy and algorithmic transparency will be presented. Conversations surrounding authorship, attribution, and academic integrity will be outlined by the presenter, and examples of modernized academic policies reflecting AI implementation will be shared.

The presenter will provide examples of “personalization through AI,” in which educational curriculum may be tailored to optimize individual needs. The presentation will include relevant research that discusses the positive outcomes of data-driven insights and targeted interventions as each relates to engagement and productivity. Examples of the redesign and reevaluation of course rubrics, syllabi, and classroom activities based on AI's human intelligence replications will be shared. The presenter will also elaborate on the use of AI tools, such as DreamBox, Socratic, MATHia, Kahoot!, Civitas Learning, ChatGPT, Research Rabbit, Grammarly, Labster, and Turnitin Revision Assistant, all of which are predicted to significantly influence the future of higher education. Updates to accreditation processes will also be mapped as a result of AI’s influences.

As a result of the information shared, it is the intent of the presenter to relate the benefits of AI to the fostering of inclusive opportunities for each student, thus driving innovation and collaboration within academic environments. The outcomes of the presentation for the audience members will include but are not limited to (a) an enhanced understanding of how AI can revolutionize academic pathways through automation, diversity, and personalization; (b) an increased awareness of equity and inclusion strategies; (c) improved insights into critical ethical challenges associated with the implementation of AI; and (d) actionable strategies for AI implementation. The presentation content will be applicable across a diverse group of professionals, with special emphasis on learning outcomes for educators, information specialists, researchers, educational administrators, instructional designers, academic technologists, and policymakers.

Short Description

The presentation discusses the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence in academic environments. The demonstration of several AI tools will offer examples of inclusivity and equitable access across various learning pathways; and advanced AI methods leading to course redesign, revision of ethical standards, and measurable outcomes will be shared. Inclusivity, innovation, and collaboration in academia through the use of AI will be highlighted throughout the presentation.
