This was a super fun speculative future to think about! I really enjoyed how she used an animated video that she voiced over to tell the story of her speculative future. This was a completely different approach to my Triage flyer.
Some points Jocelyn made that stood out to me were how AI and automation of certain tasks can impact jobs and industry. I wonder about the moral crumple zone in education? How will we know if a students learning is being adequately met with their AI powered teacher, and will this be enough to meet their needs? We are well aware that education and learning is a highly social process, and our teachers are often valuable role models for us. How would that change how we think and interact if the majority of our educational lives are lived with AI? Will we be less empathetic? Will we be smarter? How does AI change the dynamic of collaborating human to human?
I appreciated how we both took this opportunity to speculate about our individual fields of work, and how AI could potentially automate it and impact it. AI and automation and the loss of jobs as a result is always in the news. Is this just click-bait? Or is there something real we need to be worrying about? I would imagine we are a long ways away from seeing too many impacts to job security as a result of AI… I HOPE that AI is well understood and the issues of repeating bias, racism, sexism etc are eradicated before it becomes mainstream use.
