GenAI 2023: Year in Review

by | Wednesday, December 20, 2023

A week or so ago I was joined by friends Sean Leahy, Rachna Mathur and Kellie Kreiser on the Learning Futures Podcast. The topic: looking back on a crazy, dynamic, transformative year of generative AI.

As is to be expected, we covered a lot of ground in the conversation, from the the significant strides made in AI this year, envisaging its future trajectory; and pondering the implications of all of this on education, and life. A lot to cover, and we could definitely have gone on for longer, since I am sure we barely scratched the surface of these topics. But all in all it was a great conversation to be part of.

Interestingly, in this conversation, I played more fatalistic version of me… which was fun (kinda).
