Education Should Look To The Way Artists Are Embracing AI, Instead Of Turning Its Back On The Technology
(MENAFN - Discussion) Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly impact many sectors of society in the coming decades. Some of these effects may be positive, while others may be negative.
When ChatGPT started, education, a profession that prides itself on integrity and high ethical standards, was shocked by the prospect of artificial intelligence allowing students to cheat in their studies. The case is still in progress.
Some teachers have pushed for new policies, including requiring their schools to return tests in person. Others thought AI might be a fad ready to die out.
Of course, AI isn't going anywhere. As an educator, I wanted to explore how my profession could learn valuable lessons about embracing this new technology. The model for this new approach comes from art. Artists have long explored the intersection of technology and creativity.
Artist David Hockney is a famous artist who has embraced artificial intelligence. In June 2023, Hockney created an artificial intelligence-generated work on the Pyramid stage at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, titled "I Lived in Bohemia, Bohemia is a Tolerant Place", created by Hockney with the help of artificial intelligence. It is made in one piece. . One-minute video to stream Durante's "Hey Bohemian Accords."
Although this is his first AI creation, Hawkeye is no technophobe. He has used various analog and digital technologies in his work over the years. These include a Xerox copier, a Quantel Paintbox and a computer graphics workstation. They broadened the senses and creativity of his eyes. His recent spectacular works in London, David Hockney, Big and Close, testify to the artist's reputation as an innovator.

Hockey is not alone. Many artists have found creative and innovative ways to use artificial intelligence in their works. Robby Barratt is a contemporary artist who explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and art. He is known for his work with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANS). It is where two machine learning systems compete to achieve the best results. Gans has been used to create realistic artificial faces and is so effective that people often can't tell the difference between an AI-generated face and a real one.
In one project, Barat trained Gann on a database of ancient nude paintings. In Summer Coach, he combines his paintings and digital images to create a unique and realistic interpretation of the human figure. By scanning or digitizing images and feeding them into an artificial intelligence model, the system is able to create new compositions. The resulting works show his artistic style and AI learning patterns from ancient paintings.
Other artists have combined artificial intelligence with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to create immersive and interactive experiences.
For example, Refik Anadol uses artificial intelligence algorithms to process and interpret large amounts of data, turning them into stunning works of art. Integrate these AI-generated images into virtual reality and virtual reality experiences to create stunning interactive installations.
Debunking the myth of artificial intelligenceOf course, not all artists are enthusiastic about this technology. Many view image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney as a threat to their lives rather than something to be embraced. But realizing that great artists like Hokki and Anadolu have used artificial intelligence to enhance their work should teach us something. Educators need to explore how best to use AI in teaching and assessment.
The education sector's reluctance to embrace artificial intelligence is perhaps understandable. Artificial intelligence is surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Therefore, it is important to eliminate some of these errors.

The first is that AI disrupts the learning experience. Some educators worry that if students rely on artificial intelligence, their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to learn independently, may suffer. However, the key to successfully integrating AI into education is understanding that smart devices will not replace human skills. Rather, they are simple tools for improvement and refinement.
The second myth is that AI will "displace" students. While AI can provide personalized feedback and support, it cannot replace human interaction with a teacher and the social and emotional learning that comes with it.
Some academics worry that too much reliance on artificial intelligence could make students feel disconnected from their peers and teachers. Indeed, teachers can use artificial intelligence systems to help students learn collaboratively in groups by enabling collaborative problem solving.
The third myth is that artificial intelligence stifles innovation. The importance of innovation in higher education cannot be overstated, but many academics have expressed concern that artificial intelligence will only stifle it. Contrary to some beliefs, the introduction of artificial intelligence as a technology can support and enhance creativity in the educational environment. For example, generative AI tools can be used to stimulate divergent thinking, challenge expert bias, evaluate ideas, support idea innovation, and facilitate collaboration.
Prepare for the futureA fourth and final myth is that AI encourages students to cheat on grades. The constant talk of using AI to cheat doesn't tell the whole story. By effectively integrating the use of AI into student assessment, we can help students become AI learners to equip them with the skills they need in life.
We must design authentic, task-based assessments that require students to apply their knowledge, skills, and understanding in real-world contexts.
AI can be used as a collaboration tool, a source of inspiration and helpful advice. AI and education are intertwined, and students need to be able to work with AI to prepare for the world of work.
Artists have done the unthinkable before. Now, teachers can do the same by taking students on this journey, helping them become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and prepare them for a future where artificial intelligence is commonplace.
