Join hosts Marley and Molly as they delve into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) with Professor Toby Walsh from the University of New South Wales. They discuss the pros and cons of AI, focusing on its role in healthcare, education and the workplace. Meanwhile, Orla and Noah explore some fun parts to AI and even utilise it to create a 'banger' song. Plus, we'll dive into the future of work and the possibility of a four-day workweek. And don't miss Abby and Oscar's interviews with students, parents, and teachers about their thoughts on AI in this thought-provoking episode of 'Small Voices, Big Ideas'!
Will artificial intelligence make things better or worse for us? As the future beckons what jobs will be available for us? I wonder if our teachers will be robots!
Two o'clock in the morning when you wake up, you can't remember how to do something, and your teacher isn't available, you can have an AI tutor that you can ask questions. So, I think there's great potential in personalising education and in helping people.Professor Toby Walsh
