This edited volume is based on contributions from the TCET-AECT “Human-Technology Frontier: Understanding the Learning of Now to Prepare for the Work of the Future Symposium” held in Denton, Texas on May 16-18, sponsored by AECT. The authors embrace an integrative approach to designing and implementing advances technologies in learning and instruction, and focus on the emerging themes of artificial intelligence, human-computer interactions, and the resulting instructional design. The volume will be divided into four parts: (1) Trends and future in learning and learning technologies expected in the next 10 years; (2) Technologies likely to have a significant impact on learning in the next 10 years; (3) Challenges that will need to be addressed and resolved in order to achieve significant and sustained improvement in learning; and (4) Reflections and insights from the Symposium that should be pursued and that can form the basis for productive research collaborations. The primary audience for this volume is academics and researchers in disciplines such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, educational psychology, instructional design, human-computer interactions, information science, library science, and technology integration.

Throughout human history, our pursuit of innovation and discovery has never ceased. With each passing generation, we build upon the works of those before us, striving to understand more about ourselves and the universe. In recent times, we have created machines that extraordinarily mirror human intelligence. As you read "From Code to Consciousness," you'll enter a realm where science meets philosophy, technology embraces humanity, and the lines between biological life and artificial intelligence begin to blur. This exploration delves into one of the most profound questions of our age: What does it mean for a machine to be conscious? It all begins with code, a set of programming instructions that enable computers to perform tasks, solve problems, and execute commands. Code has evolved from simple calculations to sophisticated algorithms that can mimic human thought patterns. But where does consciousness fit in? Consciousness is something deeply human, an internal experience that defies easy definition. It's our awareness of ourselves and the world around us. Can a machine possess this spark? Can code evolve into consciousness? To delve into these questions, we must explore various fields, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to neuroscience and ethics. As we create machines that can potentially feel, we are holding a mirror to our nature and asking what it means to be human in an age of intelligent machines. This book bridges two worlds, a nexus where science and philosophy intermingle, where the technical meets the existential. It invites you to ponder the profound, question the status quo, and imagine a future where the boundary between humans and machines is a gateway to new possibilities. "From Code to Consciousness" is your guide and companion in an incredible journey from the tangible to the mysterious. It challenges your thoughts, ignites your curiosity, and inspires you to see technology, humanity, and consciousness in a new light.

The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities, and some dark possibilities. However, a bright future awaits those who build on their working methods by including HCAI strategies of design and testing. As many technology companies and thought leaders have argued, the goal is not to replace people, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology. In Human-Centered AI, Professor Ben Shneiderman offers an optimistic realist's guide to how artificial intelligence can be used to augment and enhance humans' lives. This project bridges the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to offer a road map for successful, reliable systems. Digital cameras, communications services, and navigation apps are just the beginning. Shneiderman shows how future applications will support health and wellness, improve education, accelerate business, and connect people in reliable, safe, and trustworthy ways that respect human values, rights, justice, and dignity.

This book systematically reviews a broad range of cases in education that utilize cutting-edge AI technologies. Furthermore, it introduces readers to the latest findings on the scope of AI in education, so as to inspire researchers from non-technological fields (e.g. education, psychology and neuroscience) to solve education problems using the latest AI techniques. It also showcases a number of established AI systems and products that have been employed for education. Lastly, the book discusses how AI can offer an enabling technology for critical aspects of education, typically including the learner, content, strategy, tools and environment, and what breakthroughs and advances the future holds. The book provides an essential resource for researchers, students and industrial practitioners interested and engaged in the fields of AI and education. It also offers a convenient handbook for non-professional readers who need a primer on AI in education, and who want to gain a deeper understanding of emerging trends in this domain.

In the realm of psychological and brain sciences, there is a growing urgency to refine individual performance using personalized interventions that account for unique cognitive and biological attributes. Yet, the quest for such tailored approaches has proven challenging, as conventional methods often fall short. The limited integration of domain expertise and human judgment curtails the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in effectively optimizing human performance, particularly in areas like customized training, health monitoring, and cognitive enhancement. Bridging the gap between AI capabilities and the specific requirements of individuals becomes crucial in meeting this rising demand. Advances in Artificial and Human Intelligence in the Modern Era present a transformative solution to tackle the prevailing challenges at the intersection of AI and human performance enhancement. This book delves deeply into the latest empirical research, literature reviews, and methodological advancements to introduce precision AI techniques for personalized interventions.
