Artificial Intelligence already part of our everyday lives – whether it is moderating online content or helping choose our next movie.
Its centrality to our lives is set to grow – and that’s as true for the industries which Harper Adams University serves across the food and farming sectors as any other industry.
Earlier this month, I spoke at a major international Learning and Teaching conference at the University of Zayed, in the United Arab Emirates. In my talk, I set out to explore what AI’s role may be in teaching, learning and assessment. I suggested they will need confident subject knowledge to assess whether AI is working well, and a critical mindset so they can work with some of the ethical, accessibility and environmental challenges posed by AI.
At Harper Adams, we’re already developing examples of this – Senior Lecturer in Entomology, Dr Heather Campbell and her MSc students Thomas Bluck, Ella Curry, Derrick Harris, Billie Pike and Bethany Wright recently explored the use of AI for coding in ecology.
