Ray Gallon's presentation at the Friends of Education conference in Struga, Macedonia, 8-9 April, 2017.
Industry 4.0 works on the mariage of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, among other things. In a world where decisions are taken autonomously by machines, there are ethical implications, questions of responsibility. Educators need strategies for preparing young people to deal with these questions, and to be flexible enough to change as the many unknowns of this development evolve. This presentation looks at the unknowns, and the questions we don't have answers to, in an attempt to focus attention on what needs to happen next, and proposes a collective space in which to start dealing with it.

It’s a Content Economy…
Even objects
are data
Big Data is already the
new mantra
Curation is as
important as Content
Creation
Fluid Information:
• Molecular
• Rapid, reliable (verified)
• Nimble
Content, well served = learning!
Industry 4.0
• Materialised from data
• Interconnected
• Cyberphysical

Challenges for education:
What will our students need to know as patients?
How to - skills for making, using, designing
Adaptability - changing technology
Ethics and responsibility
Distinction between robots and humans
Multiple layers of abstraction
Medical Robots – Here Now

Hypertext Mind
“When data of any sort are placed in storage, they are filed
alphabetically or numerically, and information is found
(when it is) by tracing it down from subclass to subclass…
The human mind does not work that way. It operates by
association. With one item in its grasp, it snaps instantly to
the next that is suggested by the association of thoughts,
in accordance with some intricate web of trails carried by
the cells of the brain.”
–Vanaver Bush, “As We May Think,” 1949

The Good News is…
You just need to help others learn!

Says who?
Our job: not to provide answers, but to
motivate learners to ask at just the right moment
You don’t
have to know
everything!

Learn, Teach, or Share?
Models & methods of coding/decoding
• Dynamic, real-time
access
• Continuous updating
• Learner chooses
How will robots do it?
What should we develop to help AI do it right?

Ethical and Social Consequences
The “whom do you kill” conundrum?
Not really!
Humans “simply try to avoid
killing anyone or anything”
–Michael Ramsey, autonomous vehicle analyst at Gartner
"There are more mundane
decisions… like keeping up with
traffic on a busy highway, or running
a red light in an emergency. These
kinds of moral issues happen with
[more] frequency with human
drivers.”
–Jeffrey Miller, University of Southern California

Who writes the algorithms?
What is User Information in This Context?
Responsibility
Owner?
Insurance?
Manufacturer?
Software provider?
Software programmer?

Impact on Jobs
In 1988, Eastman Kodak
Company employed
145 300 people.
In 2016 Facebook and Instagram
combined employ around 10 000
people
Job shifting – some jobs
diminish,
others increase, but…
Truck driving is the number one
job for U.S. males
How many truck drivers,
displaced by self-driving vehicles,
will become Data Scientists or
Pre-school Teachers?

The Role of Emotions
• Research at TCUK 2016 Conference
• Joint project: The Transformation Society and
Adobe Technical Communication
• Major demand by technical communicators for “mind reading”
• Understand emotional state via sensors/facial recognition
• Use AI to provide emotion and context appropriate responses on the fly

Violeta Tulceanu’s Brainwave
Authentication System - January 2017
Trains the system to recognise a user's emotional "fingerprint"
based on the patterns of electrical brainwaves they generate
Matches emotional states to a given pattern
Associates pattern with particular configurations of the
system that allow or preclude access to given resources.
When processing credentials, if reading matches the
"emotional fingerprint" access is granted or refused
accordingly.
