Neuroscience, AI and the Future of Education | Scott Bolland

 Neuroscience, AI and the Future of Education | Scott Bolland | TEDxSouthBank
Currently around 63% of students are disengaged at school, meaning that they withdrawal either physically or mentally before they have mastered the skills that are required to flourish in later life.  In this talk Scott Bolland explores the science of learning, the mismatch between how we teach and how the brain natural learns, and the important role that artificial intelligence could take in addressing the limitations in our current education system.
Dr Scott Bolland is the founder of New Dawn Technologies, a high-tech software company aiming to revolutionise education through the use of artificial intelligence. He has spent the last 20 years actively researching and teaching in the field of cognitive science – the scientific study of how the mind works – which spans disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and computer science. He holds a PhD in this field, as well as a university medal for outstanding academic scholarship. (2016)

 Sferum session video recordings
→ these files are available in the chat
→ only ~10min at the beginning of the 1st lesson were recorded on 20240309 because it stopped once the breakout rooms were launched... (will figure out how to record in b/o rooms too)

 Zoom session video recordings
Please note:
→ video files will be available for ~ 2 weeks after each completed lesson
→ if some recordings are missing in one group (due to Zoom crashing or simply forgetting), you may find them in the other group
→ you may find the 'ach count' (academic hours) a more reliable way to identify files than by just looking at the date
e.g. cmt231mz-20231014-6ach ↔ cmt232mz-20231021-6ach
→ watching video files on-line may result in poor audio quality, you may want to download the files first
