Artificial intelligence to streamline your teacher life

the ChatGPT guide for educators
"The maturation and broadening availability of AI technology presents an exciting moment in the history of education. Although the ideas underpinning the advancements in AI are important, there exists an equally important emergent need towards application. The use of AI to facilitate day to day educational instruction has gone largely unmet. Applications of AI technology for classroom organization, lesson planning and improving school-home communication are just some of the potential needs of the modern teacher. The methodologies presented in this book will assist educators in discovering the potential power of Chatbots and in particular ChatGPT to simplify and streamline classroom education. Successful interaction with natural language Chatbots is essential to optimizing their utility in the classroom. Methods for clear and concise prompting are presented and illustrative examples are provided. Generalized prompting strategies are detailed to provide flexibility no matter the grade level or subject content. Successful prompting integrated with pertinent information retrieval will afford educators the ability to optimize their time spent engaging ChatGPT. Technological advances like AI can present unexpected challenges and as yet unquantifiable benefits. It is apparent that ChatGPT is a revolutionary tool capable of directing the future of education in new ways. The integration of technology into the classroom has always been my passion. It is my hope that the techniques detailed in this book and ChatGPT can be utilized to lift the many tedious tasks of teaching from fellow educators so we may all better serve our students." -- Amazon.com.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

2016
Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty. The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.

The worlds I see

curiosity, exploration, and discovery at the dawn of AI
2023
"The moving memoir of a girl coming of age as an immigrant in America who finds her calling as a scientist at the forefront of the AI/Machine Learning revolution. Fei-Fei Li is known to the world as the creator of ImageNet, a key catalyst of modern artificial intelligence (AI). But her career in science was improbable from the start. Moving from China's middle class to American poverty, her family navigated the hardships of immigrant life while struggling to care for an ailing mother at every step. However, Fei-Fei's adolescent knack for physics endured, sparking a journey that would lead her to computer science, experimental cognitive science, and, ultimately, the still-obscure world of AI. It positioned her to make a defining contribution to the breakthrough we now call the AI revolution and brought her face-to-face with the extraordinary possibilities-and the extraordinary dangers-of the technology she loves. Emotionally raw and intellectually uncompromising, The Worlds I See is a story of science in the first person, documenting one of the century's defining moments from the inside"--Provided by publisher.
