The Ethics and Politics of Human Machine Pedagogy

The Ethics and Politics of Human Machine Pedagogy

Renee Hobbs addresses educators and policymakers in Tel Aviv, Israel at the ֿShaping the Future conference, an annual International EdTech Summit led by MindCET (the Innovation Center of CET, Israel's leader in technological-based educational solutions), in order to bring together all significant EdTech stakeholders and expose them to cutting edge technological trends that have the potential to significantly impact and transform education towards meeting the needs of the digital learner.

In this talk, Hobbs points out that, whether we like it or not, machine learning may inadvertently reproduce and amplify all the worst features of education and also possibly the worst features of humanity. What can be done to ensure that the digital interfaces we use and create bring out the best in young learners?
