Transparent AI Will Revolutionize Online Learning

Walter Bender, the Chief Learning Architect at Sorcero and the founder of Sugar Labs and One Laptop One Child, shared with IBL News how transparent AI will revolutionize online learning following his talk at the Open edX conference last month in San Diego. The main goal, he posits, is "to leverage what makes us human to become part of the learning process." His talk, "Beyond the Black Box: How Transparent AI can Transform Learning," focused on the strides that Sorcero is making with AI and online learning. With his extensive experience in academia and accessible and open online education, he says his experiences were "a case study for transparency, for providing tools and a framework." The natural extension from this was to switch gears and talk about AI, the "tool du jour in machine learning these days."
