What AI Can't Do: Human Presence and the Power of Embodied Learning
For some, artificial intelligence represents the latest development in an age-old series of fantasies about escaping our vulnerable, imperfect, animal brains. Humans have continuously developed tools to boost our capabilities; in the case of AI, we’re amplifying the speed of cognitive processes. But what capacities remain distinctively human?
We’re susceptible to undervaluing the irreplaceable quality of live, human presence, whether in-person or across distance. Human presence and connection are critical components for meaningful teaching and learning. In this interactive talk, participants will be introduced to multidisciplinary thinking about uniquely human skills and perception, and how these can inform our work as teachers, researchers, and colleagues.
