I quite like Mark Johnson's take on the impact of AI in learning - to be honest, he had me interested as soon as he said there's no time to be worrying about how to 'stop students from cheating'. And his take on AI itself is useful: "AI is a silly description. 'Artificial Anticipation' is much better. The technology is new. It is not a database; it consists of a document called a model (which is a file) that can be thought of as being like a 'sieve'. The configuration of the structure of the sieve is produced through a process called 'training'". What's interesting is that we can have 'conversations' with these 'documents', these conversations can be in private, and can be about whatever we happen to introduce to the document.
