The two topics will deal with the dangers and advantages of AI or ChatGPT, amongst different elements. They shall be non-compulsory and shall be taught in 4th ESO and 1st 12 months of Baccalaureate. The topics search a sensible method with contents associated to Robotics or Programming
‘Artificial Intelligence for Society’, within the 4th 12 months of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), and ‘Smart Technologies’, within the 1st 12 months of Baccalaureate, are the 2 new non-compulsory topics which were introduced this Tuesday at an occasion within the Fontán Building of the Cidade da Cultura, in Santiago, with the presence of the Minister of Culture, Education, Vocational Training and Universities, Román Rodríguez.
Specific coaching on AI
When the regional authorities designed the Galician Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2021-2030 (EGIA), within the midst of a pandemic, it had amongst its aims the design of particular coaching topics to provide adolescents “alternatives for the longer term” in a discipline “so basic and vital”.
Thus, if final 12 months an inter-university cycle on AI was applied, the following 12 months 4 of ESO and 1 of Baccalaureate these non-compulsory topics shall be born for all of the modalities that, as well as, have “transversal contents” to others reminiscent of Robotics and Programming.
“In the tutorial world we now have to disseminate, democratize this data. Increasingly, within the academic course of itself, we’re utilizing instruments linked to AI”, defined the minister, with out overlooking some of the modern purposes of the second, ‘ChatGPT’, which now “we will use” however figuring out “what we should always search for, how we should always search and know why we’re in search of what we’re in search of”. “It is now not a know-how of the longer term, however of the current”, he has acknowledged.
”Rigourous data and sensible method”
After Román Rodríguez, the 2 foremost managers of the working teams that designed the contents of those two new topics have intervened within the presentation. On the one hand, the professor of Computer Science and AI on the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) has been answerable for introducing ‘Artificial Intelligence for Society’, which shall be for 4th ESO with three hours of sophistication at week. In his phrases, this topic will search to provide “a rigorous data of AI.” It could have a “very sensible method”, since from the start of the course the scholars will work with initiatives.
The topic could have 4 thematic blocks: a primary on what AI is; a second about what questions it raises in ethics and legality, from the standpoint of dangers and advantages; a 3rd on which areas make up the AI; and the fourth, with what purposes it has on a day-to-day foundation, along with autonomous robotics and what is called the ‘Internet of issues’.
”Milestone of schooling in Spain”
For his half, the professor of Computer Science on the IES Fernando Wirtz in A Coruña, Juan Francisco Fuentes, was answerable for presenting the topic ‘Smart Technologies’, with 4 educating hours every week in 1st 12 months of Baccalaureate. It is not going to be needed for college students to have chosen their predecessor in 4th ESO.
As Fuentes defined, it is going to be a “courageous topic” that “will certainly mark a milestone in schooling in Spain.” His curriculum shall be made up of 4 thematic blocks, to which is added a fifth that shall be transversal to all of them all through the course and that may concentrate on programming. As for the primary 4, they are going to be on key AI ideas; a synthetic imaginative and prescient of applied sciences; pure language processing and its implementation in AI, the place ‘ChatGPT’ will enter; and machine studying.
The ‘NAO’ robotic provides its opinion on the brand new topics
At the top of the presentation, Juan Francisco Fuentes gave an illustration of how AI operates by way of a digital model of the ‘NAO’ robotic, which he requested about the advantages of introducing synthetic intelligence in schooling.
“It is essential. It is among the areas of know-how that’s advancing probably the most and has the best influence on our each day lives,” replied the robotic, which additionally acknowledged that it’s going to enable college students to be “higher ready to face future challenges.”
Although for some college students there could also be “troublesome ideas to be taught at first”, ‘NAO’ has mentioned that the thought of these two new topics shall be to “current ideas in a transparent, accessible and academic manner”.
