‘On the Record’: Artificial Intelligence in the classroom

MORNINGS AND GOOD MORNING AMERICA. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ONCE JUST SCIENCE FICTION IS SUDDENLY EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING MAKING ITS WAY INTO OUR SCHOOLS FROM HOW HUMANS LEARN TO NEVER BEFORE SEEN TEACHING METHODS. AI IS NOW TRANSFORMING THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN. THIS MORNING WE GO ON THE RECORD TO EXPLORE THE ROLE OF AI IN SCHOOLS AND HOW THAT TECHNOLOGY WILL SHAPE THE FUTURE. FROM WPBF 25 THIS THIS IS ON THE RECORD WITH TODD MCDERMOTT. GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS SUNDAY MORNING FOR ON THE RECORD WE’RE GOING TO GO ON THE RECORD TODAY ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. JOINING ME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S CLASSROOM IS ENGLISH PROFESSOR ZACHARY STEWART OF PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE, PROFESSOR FROM THE MOMENT WE SAW CHATGPT COME ONLINE, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE’S RADAR WENT UP ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD MEAN, WHAT IT COULD NOT MEAN. BUT THE FIRST QUESTION EVERYBODY SAID WAS OR ASKED WAS WILL STUDENTS CHEAT? AND I REALLY WANT TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU FIRST. WILL STUDENTS CHEAT WITH IT? OH, YES, ABSOLUTELY. WITHOUT A DOUBT. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT NOT ALL OF THEM WILL CHEAT AND THERE’S ACTUALLY A FAIR AMOUNT OF DEBATE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ABOUT WHETHER IT’S CHEATING. YOU KNOW, 50 YEARS AGO, YOUR MATH TEACHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN HORRIFIED BY THE IDEA OF STUDENTS USING CALCULATORS. NOW WE’RE TEACHING THEM HOW TO USE CALCULATORS IN SECOND GRADE. SO THE QUESTION IS GOING TO BE THERE’S A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, OBVIOUSLY. BUT AS FAR AS FAR AS CHEATING GOES, WE DON’T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT SO MUCH AS CHEATING AS GUIDING THEM INTO THE PROPER RESPONSIBLE ACADEMIC WAYS TO USE AI AS OPPOSED TO IF YOU IF YOU SIMPLY SAY DON’T USE THIS, IT’S BAD. THAT’S RARELY GOING TO WORK. WE KNOW KIDS GENERALLY, THE MINUTE YOU TELL THEM, STAY AWAY FROM THAT, THEY’RE GOING THERE. THAT’S IT. THEY’RE GOING TO THEY’RE GOING TO GO FOR IT IMMEDIATELY. SO SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IT IS AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IT CAN BE USED AND WHAT THE RESPONSES WAY TO USE IT ACADEMICALLY IS AND WHAT THE IRRESPONSIBLE WAYS TO USE IT ACADEMICALLY ARE SO THAT THAT IT’S NOT SO THAT THEY’RE STILL PRODUCING THEIR OWN WORK BECAUSE AT LEAST AT THE COLLEGE AND IN K THROUGH 12 IN PREPARATION FOR MOVING ON TO HIGHER EDUCATION PRESUMABLY THEY’RE GOING THEY’RE GETTING TRAINED TO GO INTO THE REAL WORLD AND THE REAL WORLD IS GOING TO BE AN AI WORLD. EXACTLY. BUT LET ME ASK YOU RIGHT NOW, AS WE SIT HERE TODAY, SINCE SO MANY OF US HAVE ONLY BEEN AWARE OF AI AT THIS LEVEL FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, HOW AWARE ARE THE STUDENTS OF IT AND HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY USING IT? DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF GAUGE? WE DO. WE, YOU KNOW, AS AN ENGLISH PROFESSOR, MY TAKE ON IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SOME OTHER PROFESSORS AND SOME OTHER FIELDS MIGHT BE RIGHT THERE ARE OTHER FIELDS WHERE THERE MAY BE PROFESSORS SAYING, HEY, THIS IS A GREAT TOOL TOOL, LET’S USE IT TO ITS FULLEST EXTENT AND THAT’S GREAT FOR THEM. BUT FOR AN ENGLISH PROFESSOR LIKE MYSELF, MY GOAL IS TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND SIMPLY RELYING ON THE AI TO DO THAT IS A POOR WAY TO DO THAT. YOU LEAD ME RIGHT INTO THE QUESTION OF SAFEGUARDS, ESPECIALLY, LET’S JUST SAY, EVEN IN YOUR PARTICULAR CLASSROOM WITH ENGLISH, WHAT SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND HOW DO YOU SPOT THESE STUDENTS? IS IT WORKING? I THINK IT IS. YOU HOPE IT IS. WE ALL HOPE IT IS. YES. YOU KNOW, AI IS AN ALGORITHM. IT’S A HIGHLY ADVANCED, VERY COMPLICATED ALGORITHM. AND WHAT IT DOES WHEN YOU ENTER A PROMPT INTO IT IS IT DOESN’T COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS ON ITS OWN. IT SEARCHES THE WEB. IT’S A VERY ADVANCED FORM OF GOOGLE, ESSENTIALLY, AND IT COLLATES THE INFORMATION THAT IT FINDS INTO A RESPONSE. IT’S NOT ALWAYS A CORRECT RESPONSE, BUT IF WE CAN BUILD AN ALGORITHM TO DO THAT, THEN WE CAN ALSO DESIGN AN ALGORITHM THAT CAN SPOT WHEN THAT’S BEING DONE. WHEN SOMETHING IS CREATED BY A COMPUTER SHORTLY AFTER CHATGPT, WHICH WAS THE FIRST BIG ONE, PREMIERED, AND THERE WAS A STUDENT, I BELIEVE, OUT OF PRINCETON, I COULD BE MISTAKEN, WHO DESIGNED A PROGRAM CALLED ZERO GPT TO CATCH USERS OF CHATGPT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CURSE PRINCETON FOR THAT. IF YOU’RE A AND IT WAS A STUDENT THAT CAME UP WITH IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW. AND IF SO, THEN HE CAN WRITE HIS OWN TICKET. HE’S HE’S ON HIS WAY TO BEING A MILLIONAIRE VERY SHORTLY RIGHT NOW AT OUR COLLEGE, WE USE CANVAS AS OUR LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. STUDENTS SUBMIT WORK THROUGH CANVAS AND CANVAS AND CANVAS CONTRACTS WITH TURNITIN, WHICH IS THE AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE WORLD’S PREMIER PLAGIARISM CHECKER. IT’S USED ACROSS AROUND THE WORLD TO CHECK STUDENTS WHO ARE TURNING IN PAPERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND THEY IMMEDIATELY INSTITUTED AN AI DETECTION SOFTWARE INTO IT. NOW THERE’S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE QUALITY OF AI DETECTION SOFTWARE, WHETHER AND THERE HAVE BEEN STUDIES INTO IT. IT’S BEEN SO IT’S SO NEW THAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT PEER REVIEW AND ALL BEING DONE PROPERLY, BUT IT’S FOUND THAT THE DETECTION HAS A BIAS AGAINST ENGLISH ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. IT’S MORE LIKELY TO IDENTIFY THINGS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WHO LEARNED ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE AND AS AI WRITTEN THAN IT WILL NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS. AND WE HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THAT. WHAT IT GIVES ME WHEN I AND I USE IT DAILY, IT GIVES ME A PERCENTAGE AND THE PERCENTAGE GIVES ME TWO THINGS. NUMBER ONE, IT’LL ACTUALLY SHOW ME WHAT IT THINKS IS BEING WRITTEN BY AI, AND I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT INDIVIDUALLY AND, AND SAY, DOES THAT REFLECT WHAT I’VE SEEN OF THIS STUDENT’S WRITING BEFORE? THAT’S THAT’S THE FIRST GAUGE. SO IN CONCLUSION FOR THIS SEGMENT, IT WOULD SEEM THAT STILL, NO MATTER WHAT IT REALLY IS UP TO THE TEACHER. ABSOLUTELY. SO YOUR JOB IS SAFE? I SURE HOPE SO. ALL RIGHT, ZACHARY STEWART, BOBBY STATE COLLEGE, THANKS SO MUCH FOR GOING ON THE RECORD WITH ME TODAY. MY PLEASURE. ALL RIGHT. WELL, NEXT UP, WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT HOW TO EMBRACE AI. WE’LL TALK WITH A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AI IN THAT CLASSROOM.

YOU’RE WATCHING ON THE RECORD ON WPBF 25. WELCOME BACK TO ON THE RECORD. JOINING ME NOW IS DOCTOR DAVID MORSE, SUPERINTENDENT OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SCHOOLS. DOCTOR, THANKS FOR SO MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. FIRST QUESTION, HAVE YOU BEGUN MOVING INTO THIS NEW ERA IN THE DISTRICT YET? OH, ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S MOVING EXTREMELY FAST. WHEN YOU LOOK AT EVEN CHATGPT AND YOU LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK TO GET TO A MILLION USERS AND YOU COMPARE IT TO, LET’S SAY, NETFLIX, IT TOOK 41 WEEKS FOR NETFLIX TO GET TOA MILLION USERS. TWITTER TOOK 24 WEEKS, FIVE DAYS FOR CHATGPT. SO THIS IS MOVING AT A VERY, VERY FAST RATE. IT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE IGNORED. SO WE AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM NEED TO DO OUR BEST TO UNDERSTAND IT, FIGURE IT OUT AND HELP TO USE IT AS A TOOL TO MOVE OUR STUDENTS FORWARD. LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT TEACHERS BEFORE I TALK ABOUT STUDENTS. WHAT’S THE TRANSITION LIKE FOR TEACHERS? ARE THEY RUNNING INTO ANY PITFALLS YET? WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO EDUCATORS DO? THEY’RE TEACHERS. SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, THEY EMBRACE THEIR OWN LEARNING. SO THERE’S A GREAT DEAL OF LEARNING GOING ON FOR THEM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE’RE USING IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM TO HELP SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS IS A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS US VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID IN COLLEGE SYSTEM CALLED TURN IT IN. IT WAS TYPICALLY USED TO EVALUATE WHETHER STUDENTS WERE PLAGIARIZING OR COPYING WORK THAT WAS BEING SUBMITTED. THEY’VE ADDED TECHNOLOGY TO THEIR PROGRAM WHICH ALLOWS FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY WHEN STUDENT IS USING CHATGPT. AS LONG AS IT’S OVER 200 OR 350 WORDS. SO SO WE’RE USING TECHNOLOGY TO COMBAT TECHNOLOGY, A TOOL FOR TEACHERS TO HELP UNDERSTAND ARE THEY GRADING ACTUALLY THE STUDENTS THINKING OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THINKING? SO THAT’S REALLY HELPED US TAKE THE VERY FIRST STEP IN ORDER TO COMBAT SOME OF THE MISUSE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. AND IS IT ALSO JUST THE FEELING OF THE TEACHER? CAN TEACHERS, DO YOU BELIEVE, SPOT THIS TO A GREAT EXTENT? STILL THAT THEY’RE ACTUALLY GRADING THE ORIGINAL THINKING OF THEIR STUDENTS? WELL, YOU KNOW, IT’S THERE’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A LEARNING CURVE. ANOTHER THING THAT WE’RE DOING IS LOOKING AT HOW WE PROVIDE INSTRUCTION SO RATHER THAN STUDENTS GO HOME AND DO THIS, YOU KNOW, ASSIGNMENT AND BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY, LET’S LOOK AT REVERSING SOME OF THE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS AND ALLOW STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY IN CLASS FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE TEACHER AND THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS TO DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF THE STANDARDS WHILE IN THE CLASSROOM. AND WHEN A TEACHER IS THERE TO HELP AND SUPPORT AND SUPERVISE, WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY IF THE TECHNOLOGY IS BEING MISUSED OR IT’S SOMEONE ELSE’S OR A COMPUTER IS THINKING. SO REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WE’RE PROVIDING INSTRUCTION AT THE SAME TIME, GIVING OUR TEACHERS THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO HELP IDENTIFY WHEN IT’S BEING MISUSED. WHAT ARE SOME BEGINNING STEPS THAT WE’RE ACTUALLY TAKING IN OUR DISTRICT? ALL RIGHT. WE’VE TALKED A LOT THIS MORNING ALREADY ABOUT CATCHING STUDENTS USING CHAT. GPT, FOR EXAMPLE, OR OTHER AI PROGRAMS TO HELP THEMSELVES. SO LET’S GO POSITIVE HERE. YOU JUST SAID IT’S TECHNOLOGY. WE CAN’T IGNORE OR TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE POSITIVE ASPECTS. YOU SEE AI IN THE CLASSROOM GOING FORWARD. WELL, IT’S A RESOURCE THAT’S GOING TO BE USED IN THE REAL WORLD OF WORK. AND YOU LOOK AT LAW FIRMS, THEY’RE COMPLETELY REDESIGNING THEIR OFFICES AND THEY’RE USING PARALEGALS IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A PARTNER IN A LAW FIRM, AND THEY JUST RELEASED ABOUT 25% OF THEIR PARALEGALS. WHY? BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER NEED THEM FOR RESEARCH. BUT THE SKILL THAT THEY DO NEED IS TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE RESEARCH, TO EDIT, RESEARCH TO PRESENT CERTAIN ARGUMENTS WITH RESEARCH. SO THE SKILLS THAT ARE NEEDED IN USING CHATBOT CHAT, GPT ARE DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW? SO WE’RE REALLY LOOKING AT USING EDITING SKILLS AND CREATING A STUDENT’S VOICE BY INCORPORATING SOME FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH THAT TECHNOLOGY NOW CAN DO. WE CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM IT. WE CAN’T IGNORE IT. WE NEED TO TEACH OUR STUDENTS HOW TO USE IT AS A TOOL TO ENHANCE AND ACCELERATE THEIR THINKING AND UNDERSTANDING. SO LOOKING FORWARD, IF YOU COULD HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE LEFT, LET ME KNOW. HOW DO YOU SEE AI INFLUENCING THE TEACHING OF OUR CHILDREN AS WE GO FORWARD IN THE FUTURE? WELL, CHATGPT IN THREE MONTHS IS GOING TO BE LIKE THE ATARI SYSTEM. THIS IS MOVING EXTREMELY FAST. SO MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, IT’S GOING TO BE A RESOURCE AND TYPICALLY WHEN NEW TECHNOLOGY COMES INTO PLAY, WHO MASTERS IT FIRST? OUR STUDENTS. SO ALLOWING OUR STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE US FEEDBACK, TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY’RE USING IT AND FOR US TO HELP THEM CREATE THE BEHAVIORS TO USE IT MOST EFFECTIVELY, TO HELP THEM PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL. THAT’S OUR JOB. KEEP OPEN COMMUNICATION, SPEAK WITH OUR STUDENTS, SPEAK WITH OUR FAMILIES, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY TO BENEFIT EVERYBODY. DR. DAVID MOORE, SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SCHOOLS. THANKS SO MUCH FOR GOING ON THE RECORD WITH US TODAY. ANY TIME. THANK YOU, SIR. ALL RIGHT. TAKE CARE.

A 17 YEAR OLD IS ALREADY A SOFTWARE ENGINEER. SHE WAS AN INTERN. NOW SHE’S AN ENGINEER FOR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING COMPANY. SHE’S ALSO THE CAPTAIN OF THE CROSS COUNTRY TEAM AND THE TRACK AND FIELD TEAM AT SPANISH RIVER COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL IN BOCA RATON. AND SHE TEACHING OTHERS TO USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THIS FIRST OF ALL, THEY CALL YOU AI GIRL. I THOUGHT SUPERHERO, BUT YOU REALLY ARE THE AI GIRL. HOW DID YOU START GETTING INTO THIS? I KNOW YOU STARTED CODING YEARS AGO, BUT WHEN DID YOU EMBRACE THIS WHOLE TECHNOLOGY? YEAH. SO IN SEVENTH GRADE, MY DAD AND I, WE DID A CODING PASSION PROJECT FOR MY LIKE, IT WAS A LITTLE SEVENTH GRADE PROJECT. AND WE CODED ON EXCEL. VERY SIMPLE. IF THEN STATEMENTS AND THEN FROM THERE IT WAS JUST GETTING INTO MORE LIKE MORE MORE INVOLVED CODING LANGUAGES. PYTHON AND JAVA. AND THEN UPON MY SOPHOMORE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, I TOOK AP COMPUTER SCIENCE PRINCIPLES, WHICH FOCUSES ON JAVASCRIPT, A VERY BASIC PROGRAMING LANGUAGE THAT YOU LEARN ON LIKE CODE.ORG. YOUNG KIDS DO IT. AND SINCE THEN I’VE JUST BEEN COMPLETELY IMMERSED AND BEING ABLE TO PROGRAM AND BEING ABLE TO TELL COMPUTER WHAT TO DO WITH VERY SIMPLE COMMANDS. AND THEN FROM THEN I GOT MORE INVOLVED AND I GOT CERTIFIED IN JAVA. I TOOK THE UPPER LEVEL AP COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASS, AND MY TEACHER, MR. VARGAS, REALLY INTRODUCED ME TO A LOT OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES, LIKE THE COMPUTER SCIENCE HONORS SOCIETY. AND THEN I GOT TO START TEACHING OTHER PEOPLE AT SCHOOL ABOUT COMPUTER SCIENCE. WELL, LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT. TELL ME ABOUT GIRLS WHO CODE. OH, YEAH. SO GIRLS WHO CODE. IT’S A REALLY WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION. IT’S, I BELIEVE, ALL THROUGHOUT AMERICA. AND WE HAVE A CHAPTER AT SPANISH RIVER. I’M THE PRESIDENT WITH MY FRIEND ALEX KATZ, AND WE BRING A BUNCH OF GIRLS, FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, BASICALLY ANYBODY IN THE SCHOOL, THEY WERE ABLE TO COME IN DURING LUNCH AT SCHOOL AND WE HAVE THEM CERTIFIED IN PYTHON IN A REALLY GREAT PROGRAMING LANGUAGES, PROGRAMING LANGUAGE FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND, AND YEAH, JUST TEACHING GIRLS ABOUT CODING AND PROGRAMING. REALLY IMPORTANT FOR WOMEN IN STEM. HAVE YOU HAD TO SELL THIS CAITLIN TO YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS OR ARE THEY ALL ABOUT IT? MOST GIRLS THAT COME INTO GIRLS WHO CODE SPECIFICALLY ARE READY TO LEARN. THEY’RE READY TO CODE THOUGH IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF PERSUADING. CODING IS A REALLY DAUNTING TASK. I WON’T LIE. IT’S YOU LOOK AT A BUNCH OF CODE, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, ON TV, LIKE A BUNCH OF HACKERS AND IT’S JUST A SCREEN FULL OF RANDOM NUMBERS AND LETTERS. THAT’S WHAT I SEE. IT LOOKS VERY CONFUSING TO BEGIN WITH, BUT IT’S CERTAINLY ONCE YOU GET PEOPLE INVOLVED AND YOU SHOW WHAT IT CAN DO, ESPECIALLY WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE VERY PREVALENT IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IT’S PEOPLE GET REALLY INTERESTED IN IT AND THEY REALLY WANT TO LEARN. AND WHAT ABOUT THE I SCHOLAR PROGRAM? SO THAT WAS A REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY THAT I ACTUALLY FOUND OUT THROUGH ONE OF MY COLLEGE COUNSELORS. HE GOT AN EMAIL FOR IT AND RECOMMENDED TO ME AND IT’S RUN BY HARVARD GRADUATES, GRADUATES FROM CARNEGIE MELLON, I BELIEVE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT I BASICALLY CONNOISSEURS AND I GOT SELECTED. I FILLED OUT THIS WHOLE APPLICATION AND THEN I GOT SELECTED WITH A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WAS SOMEBODY FROM ZAMBIA, AND IT WAS VERY, VERY DIVERSE, VERY RURAL. I KNOW, VERY COOL. AND THEY BASICALLY TAUGHT US ALL OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. WE IT FINALIZED IN A CAPSTONE PROJECT. SO I ACTUALLY PROGRAMED MYSELF AN IMAGE RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND WE GOT TO TEST THE ACCURACY. IT WAS 80, 81%. SO NOT TOO BAD. YOU KNOW, I COULD SIT HERE AND JUST GO, WOW, EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS SO AMAZING. THANK YOU. YOU ARE ACTUALLY ALSO NOT JUST TEACHING FELLOW STUDENTS AT YOUR LEVEL. YOU’RE REACHING TOWARDS THE FUTURE HERE WITH SOME YOUNGER KIDS. YES, I DID A CAMP OVER THE SUMMER CALLED CAMP INVENTION WITH MY FRIEND BELLA. WE HAD DONE IT FOR FOUR YEARS AND JUST RECENTLY THIS YEAR THEY IMPLEMENTED A SEGMENT ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THESE KIDS, THEY’RE VERY YOUNG, LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN. THEY WERE PROBABLY KINDERGARTNERS, FIRST GRADERS. SO JUST INTRODUCING THEM TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FUTURE WAS REALLY IMPORTANT. KIND OF GET THEM INTO INVENTING, GET THEIR IMAGINATION GOING. AND OF COURSE, THE OLDER STUDENTS, WE WERE ABLE TO GO A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH AND MAYBE EVEN SHOW THEM SOME PROGRAMING. BUT BEING ABLE TO SHOW THE FRUIT OF THE FUTURE BASICALLY WHAT WE CAN DO WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITH MACHINE LEARNING IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ALL RIGHT. I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU A MINUTE RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE YOU’RE SO PASSIONATE TO SOMEONE WHO SAYS I WHATEVER IN A MINUTE TELL PEOPLE HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THIS COULD HAVE ON OUR LIVES GOING FORWARD. YOU KNOW, HEALTH CARE. I THINK, IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER. THERE’S A LOT OF SYSTEMS COMING OUT, BEING ABLE TO DETECT DIFFERENT CANCERS, TO DETECT DIFFERENT DISEASES. AND I WOULDN’T SAY TAKING THE JOBS OF IMPORTANT HEALTH CARE WORKERS, RATHER ENHANCING THEM AND AND MY COACH USES A GREAT EXAMPLE WHEN THE LIGHT BULB WAS INVENTED, A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT WERE LIGHTING STREET LAMPS IN THE STREET, THEY WERE WORRIED THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE THEIR JOBS. BUT NO, THEY ACTUALLY BECAME ELECTRICIANS. SO IT’S USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ENHANCE CERTAIN JOBS TO MAKE IT EASIER, TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT. IS REALLY IT’S GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD. AND IT’S GOING TO MAKE A BIG IMPACT. ALL RIGHT. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT CAITLYN SEEDORF A LITTLE BIT MORE, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING MUCH FARTHER FROM HERE. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS? WHERE ARE YOU CONSIDERING YOUR YOUR NEXT MOVE HERE, BOTH ATHLETICALLY AND OBVIOUSLY EDUCATIONALLY. SO RIGHT NOW I’M BEING RECRUITED BY CALTECH, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. VERY AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK. I’M BEING RECRUITED CARNEGIE MELLON AS WELL. AND I, I THINK THAT RUNNING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEY’RE VERY THEY’RE VERY DIFFERENT. THEY’RE BOTH VERY RIGOROUS. BUT BEING ABLE TO USE RUNNING AS AN OUTLET TO KIND OF LIKE COOL OFF ANY STEAM THAT COMES WITH SITTING ON MY COMPUTER AND CODING ALL DAY AND BEING ABLE TO PURSUE THAT IN THE FUTURE AT THESE AMAZING SCHOOLS LIKE CALTECH OR CARNEGIE MELLON OR EVEN MIT, ANY OF THOSE TECHNOLOGY SCHOOLS, I WOULD JUST BE SO HAPPY TO BE AT. WELL, I THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR CHOICE AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S FACETIOUS. I GIRL, YOU ARE I WOMAN AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU’RE DOING FOR ALL THE FELLOW STUDENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND WE’LL BE KEEPING OUR EYE ON YOU FOR THE FUTURE ON THE RECORD. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. FIRST WARNING WEATHER SPONSORED BY STANLEY STEAMER. HOLIDAY DEALS ARE HAPPENING NOW. STORES OPEN 7 A.M.
