Education needs an AI revolutionBy Nigel P. DalyMore than a year and a half after ChatGPT’s release, the Ministry of Education has finally announced an initiative to overhaul Taiwan’s education system to accommodate artificial intelligence (AI), and develop AI literacy among teachers and students. AI literacy involves understanding the basic concepts of AI, such as how it works, its applications and the potential risks. However, in the context of education, moving from AI literacy to AI fluency would transform students from mere consumers of information into active participants in their learning process. My guess is that many teachers have no idea what an effective AI workflow is and how to develop AI fluency. Of course, if AI fluency becomes a major goal for Taiwan’s education, it would demand a revolution.
