The Summer Read: Richard King on how ChatGPT is changing how knowledge is shared
About this episode
Today on the show, writer Richard King, with his piece ‘Machine Learning’ about the AI chatbot ChatGPT.
He begins his story with discourse sweeping a university campus as AI reaches the hands of ordinary students and teachers.
How will this technology – still only a few months old – change not only teaching and marking, but the very nature of the transfer of knowledge?
This is the question he sets out to answer, and it’s a compelling one as we stand on the precipice of a new age of technology.
Richard will read his story from the latest edition of The Monthly after a short conversation.
