John Abraham, professor of mechanical engineering, spoke to FOX 9 on the use of AI in the classroom. Abraham utilizes the technology himself when conducting research. He believes it can improve outcomes of students learning.
From the interview:
“I’ve used AI for about half a decade. I use it for optimization. Working with an international team, we design dams and bridges that will withstand storms and traffic. There are a bunch of techniques that allow AI to help us find the best designs. It’s an incredible tool,” Abraham said.
“There are pros and cons to this technology. We as a society need to figure out a way to maximize the pros, and reduce the cons. There is a lot of uncertainty, so let’s take action now to ensure it’s as good as possible.”
