Publisher's Synopsis
Teach about intelligence, not just prompts.
This groundbreaking book from a former MIT AI leader reveals the deeper aspects of thinking and learning that make AI-or any other intelligence-tick. Those AI roots are:
- Timeless: Won't vaporize with the next AI release
- Screen-less: Focus on AI education, not necessarily AI use
- Everywhere: Pervade human and social thinking and learning too
- All-subject: What class isn't about thinking and learning?
- All-age: Same core principles, age-appropriate difficulty
Understanding these meta-principles will enable students to teach AI, as they must in every interaction with it. It helps grow intuitions about AI that are as critical as understanding the drivers of another person.
Drawing on decades of experience in both AI and human learning, Dr. Dasey cuts through the hype to expose what's truly revolutionary about AI. Maybe we can finally stop debating false assumptions, rumors, and buzzy product releases and focus on the thinking and learning fundamentals students have needed all along.
Written for educators but just as relevant to parenting, business, and the tech curious, AI Wisdom Volume 1 answers "what is AI?" from a multi-perspective view that integrates AI, neuroscience, psychology, and educational research, all in an approachable way.
