King’s Festival of Artificial Intelligence

The King's Festival of Artificial Intelligence is returning between Tuesday 21 & Saturday 25 May 2024, with a series of public events, including lectures, workshops and demonstrations, exploring artificial intelligence with researchers from across King's.

<p>Join us for a series of short presentations delivered by a range of experts in education from across King’s College London. Speakers will present on a range of case study uses of AI in teaching, learning, assessment, or student support.</p><h4>Dr Canh Thien Dang and Dr An Nguyen: <em><em>Skills and Attitudes towards AI in the Age of AI (Hallucinations)</em></em></h4><p>This lightning presentation will explore the impact of AI Hallucinations in education, focusing on a real-world case study of its use in student feedback and assessment. This talk will provide practical insights into both the opportunities and challenges of AI-driven learning environments.</p><p>Acknowledgements: The research project showcased here is supported by the King’s Business School Innovative Education Funding, and King’s Strategic College Fund.</p><h4>Laura Flynn-Coley and two students: <em><em>See It, Be It: Empowering Young People Through Inclusive AI Education.</em></em></h4><p>In this lightning presentation, alongside two students from the <a href="https://camdenlearning.org.uk/partners-projects/london-ai-campus/" title="https://camdenlearning.org.uk/partners-projects/london-ai-campus/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">London AI Campus</a>, Laura will share how an inclusive approach to AI education is helping young people see themselves in tech. Through student stories and practical learning experiences, this session highlights how AI can be made accessible, meaningful, and empowering, especially for those who might not traditionally see themselves in the field.</p><h4>Dr Chahna Gonsalves: <em><em>Generative AI’s Impact on Critical Thinking: Revisiting Bloom’s Taxonomy</em></em></h4><p>How does AI reshape the way we think? This lightning presentation will explore the impact of generative AI on critical thinking and education. As AI tools become embedded in learning, traditional frameworks like Bloom’s Taxonomy must evolve. This session introduces an expanded model that incorporates AI-specific competencies such as interrogating AI-generated insights, ethical reasoning, and iterative learning.</p><h4>Isaac Ng and Dr Mandeep Gill Sagoo: <em><em>Transforming Education through qVault.ai: Staff, Students and beyond.</em></em></h4><p>This lightning presentation will explore how AI-driven innovations are tackling accessibility, assessment quality, and personalized learning, with a focus on qVault.ai, an AI powered educational platform that is reshaping medical education. qVault.ai was developed to bridge critical gaps in learning by providing AI-generated Single Best Answer questions, intelligent chatbots, and AI-driven case study generation, offering students and educators high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources that enhance efficiency and engagement. Designed with adaptability in mind, the platform ensures students receive personalised, exam-standard learning materials while allowing educators to track progress and improve teaching strategies.</p><h4>Huinan Zeng and Amin Ech-Chadli: <em><em>Kai (King’s AI): A GenAI-powered assistant for university students.</em></em></h4><p>This lightning presentation will showcase a demo of Kai, a GenAI-powered assistant designed to improve access to information and support for both students and staff, and share insights from a pilot study of Kai exploring how AI can enhance the university experience. Key findings will be presented on AI use cases, benefits, limitations, and perceptions within higher education, drawing on staff feedback from across King’s.</p><p>You do not need any prior knowledge of AI to enjoy this event. This event may be of particular interest to those working or interested in education at any level, as well as those interested in the intersection of technology and education.</p>
