Continuing to seek a Business Plan with which to begin accreditation  

WUaS accreditation with business plan - Bill Gates, others?


Bill Gates, others, could you please help World Univ & Sch and the WUaS Corp develop a focused business plan for the WUaS Middle States Commission on Higher Education accreditation process (with offices in the greater Philadelphia area) and with the state of Pennsylvania's department of education? 






Minute 2 

UC Riverside & WUaS recruiting on October 20, 2023, but WUaS can't attend in person ... so WUaS signed up anyway 


Dear Jeannette, Ed Smyth MD (affiliated with KP Richmond in NorCal), 

Thank you for the invitation. FYI, CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch has 2 wings -

1) a 501 c 3 federal non profit -


and 

2) a for profit general stock company legal entity in CA -

- as you'll read in the survey I filled out, with remarkable potential synergies between them.  Both are planned in each of all ~200 countries online (per Olympics) and in each of 7168 known living languages with Large Language Models' generative AI.

(Both Ed above and I are alumni of the University of California (UCSC & UCSF Med Sch for Ed, and UCSB for me) and Ed Smyth MD is the named Chief Medical Officer of Work World Univ & Sch with 200 online medical schools planned). 

THANKS, Scott

Ed Smyth MD, Universitians: The impressive architect and Stanford presenter on "Building Decarbonization: Pathways to a Carbon-Neutral Future" on W Sep 13, 2023  is Kristen DiStefano (and a video of her talk will be forthcoming) ... and if a whole, scaling WUaS Academic Medical Center were to develop in East Bay MUD near Canyon 94516 somehow, with a physical-digital virtual warm water cure and a WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute, she would be a great and knowledgeable architectural consultant for making GREEN WUaS Academic Medical Center  buildings (with much thinking emerging remarkably from the 1960s and '70s)! 

In a related vein, and in addition to my set of Tweets this morning, which I just sent you, my mother, John and Sid, I searched on

What is ahead regarding longevity genetics' drugs, Kaiser Permanente and potentially the WUaS Academic Medical Center?


How do patients’ genes affect their medication choice?
Jan Greene
August 30, 2019


Kaiser Permanente study finds clues in the electronic medical record
 

A Kaiser Permanente analysis found that neurological side effects from the anti-seizure medication phenytoin are more common in patients with certain genetic variants. These same genetics were also associated with lower adherence to treatment, suggesting they may play a role in patients finding the right medication.

The study, published Aug. 30 in the journal Pharmacogenetics and Genomics, affirmed the previously identified association between specific genetic variants and phenytoin blood concentrations. Variants of the CYP2C9 gene can cause patients receiving the same dose of phenytoin to have blood levels of the drug that are too high or too low

WUaS MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's WUaS Major Research Instrumentation Proposal NSF Concept Paper



1 Project Title

A Realistic Virtual Earth for Everything (think Google Street View with time slider & TensorFlowAI) as Major Research Instrumentation 


2 Profound Statement of Need


The United States profoundly needs this because it will facilitate 

1 integrate with iterating Virtual Reality AR AI & ML a vast number of disparate STEM areas in one Realistic Virtual Earth for research, as classrooms (& eg for STEM instrumentation product development too)

2 also Realistic Virtual Universe for space exploration and even buying and selling with a near universal single main cryptocurrency, like Stanford Mine Pu cryptocurrency, digitally, in space and all over the world and universe 

3 an unfolding physical-digital STEM research conversation 

4 a new form of scientific publication in all 200 countries and in their main languages, text in the sidebar of Google Street View with Time Slider, and in 7168 known living languages at the Academic Press at World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html


3 Data or Research to Back Up Need 



Google's New Street View Cameras Will Help Algorithms Index The Real World


Google's Counsel Kent Walker : 

I’ve written previously about how we at @Google think about AI responsibility and driving collaboration. Today, I wanted to share a bit more about how we’ve been building on our responsibility work over the summer–and keeping it up as we head into fall. 

Simulation Development 
https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/simulation-development

Google Search and the Universe with NASA (& this with Google Maps, Earth and Street View)


Excited to partner with @NASA to bring 3D models of planets, moons and spacecraft to Google Search (and in AR on mobile too!), along with a new @googlearts project exploring our solar system.




Princeton University's Flywire Connectomics - citizen science modeling of the Drosophila fly brain  

Google's Connectomics' & Viren Jain 

Nvidia's Omniverse, and for chips

great NVIDIA KEYNOTE TALK with Jensen Huang's inspiring NVIDIA chips, AI OMNIVERSE and envisioning (more here about this & @WorldUnivAndSch's #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualEarth http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/denali.html -

When and how and where did life etc. begin?

How, when and where did  ... first evolve or appear? ... into a #Realistic Virtual Earth for evolutionary biology (think Google Street View with a time slider with film-to-3D or -NDimensionality Apps)? 


When did life first appear on earth?









* *
How did life start on Earth from nothing? process of increasing complexity involving formation of habitable planet, the prebiotic synthesis of organic molecules, molecular self-replication, self-assembly, autocatalysis and the emergence of cell membranes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis ~










*
How did life start on Earth from nothing? a main hypothesis:  process of increasing complexity involving the formation of a habitable planet, the prebiotic synthesis of organic molecules, molecular self-replication, self-assembly, autocatalysis and the emergence of cell membranes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis 



* *
How, when and where did humans evolve ?

How and when did humans split from chimps ancestors?

For the past 45 years, geneticists have suggested that the ancestors of today's humans and chimps went their separate ways about 4 million to 6 million years ago, and the ancestors of gorillas diverged about 7 million to 9 million years ago






*
How & when did humans spread all over the world, and from where?

Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later.




*
How and when and where did human language emerge?

Combining these genetic hints with the differences in symbolic and cultural behaviour that are evident from the fossil record suggests language arose in our lineage sometime after our split from our common ancestor with Neanderthals, and probably by no later than 150,000 to 200,000 years ago.



Estimates of this kind are not universally accepted, but jointly considering genetic, archaeological, palaeontological, and much other evidence indicates that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens




* *
How and when did human writing emerge?

been invented independently at least four times in human history: first in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) where cuneiform was used between 3400 and 3300 BC …




*
How and when did bird flight evolve ?

Paleontologists estimate that bird-relatives flew for the first time between the middle and late parts of the Jurassic period, about 160 million years ago. These aerialists were proto birds like Archaeopteryx, somewhere between dinosaurs and birds.Dec 17, 2020




* *
When & how did flowering trees and plants (angiosperms) evolve ?

If science functions through evidence and consensus, then it is generally agreed that the oldest, uncontested fossil angiosperms are from the Early Cretaceous period, around 125–130 million years ago. A fossil of the petal-less flowers of Archaefructus liaoningensis.





*
People also ask
When did the angiosperms flowering plants evolve?
~275 million years ago
We calculate molecular ages of the earliest flowering plant lineages using 22 fossil calibrations (101 genera, 40 families). Our results reveal the origin of angiosperms at the late Permian, ~275 million years ago.



*
When and how do angiosperms evolve?

Angiosperms evolved during the late Cretaceous Period, about 125-100 million years ago. Angiosperms have developed flowers and fruit as ways to attract pollinators and protect their seeds, respectively. Flowers have a wide array of colors, shapes, and smells, all of which are for the purpose of attracting pollinators.




* *
How and when did the dinosaurs go extinct?

Evidence suggests an asteroid impact was the main culprit. Volcanic eruptions that caused large-scale climate change may also have been involved, together with more gradual changes to Earth's climate that happened over millions of years.



about 65 million years ago
Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years.

"Education in AI Era" in India and in the USA ... and with MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - 

Dear Raghu Pandey, All, 

Greetings and thanks for the invitation. 

Looking forward to your "Education in AI Era" GEG presentation (at 6:30 am Eastern Daylight Time (eastern seaboard of the USA) ... and before the open hour-long MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting at 12 noon Eastern Time with Zoom URL here by tomorrow - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting

The title of your presentation led me to look up what or how the US government is looking at some of these AI in education questions, so I searched for and found the following  - 

'us department of education artificial intelligence policy' 


It recognizes AI as a rapidly advancing set of technologies that can enable new forms of interaction between educators and students, help educators address variability in learning, increase feedback loops, and support educators.

What do you think? What are you seeing in India with regards to the above possibly? (And I'll probably learn about this on Saturday). 

Also, 
MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch will likely build Large Language Models' conversational generative AI in each of all 22 scheduled languages in India - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India -  as possibly iterating 1) teachers, and 2) interlocutors / conversationalists (in a myriad of ways from language learning to tutoring to play), to begin. 



World Univ & Sch has also added a first Iowa Supreme Court case (from the US state of Iowa) to our WUaS Wikidata (as a source of data for artificial intelligence) and as Sugam Sharma PhD in Iowa from India seeks to add all the Iowa Supreme Court cases to machine learning data information technologies  and for the predictive possibilities of machine learning and to create a possible Iowa Supreme court developments in machine learning ... with possible implications for all other 200 countries' Supreme Courts with AI, including India's and the USA's. 




All the best, Namaste, see you Saturday and thanks, Scott

Here are some current examples of Artificial Intelligences used in teaching and learning: 



43 Examples of Artificial Intelligence in Education 
https://onlinedegrees.sandiego.edu/artificial-intelligence-education/

43 Examples of AI in Education

Inspired by a challenge from “an old school teacher who thinks that AI is ruining education,” Matthew Lynch reviews a wide range of topics in a piece titled “26 Ways That Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Education For The Better.”For example:

Adaptive Learning: “Used to teach students basic and advanced skills by assessing their present skill level and creating a guided instructional experience that helps them become proficient.”

Assistive Technology: AI can help special needs students access a more equitable education, for example by “reading passages to a visually impaired student.”

Early Childhood Education: “AI is currently being used to power interactive games that teach children basic academic skills and more.”

Data and Learning Analytics: “AI is currently being used by teachers and education administrators to analyze and interpret data,” enabling them to make better-informed decisions.

Scheduling: Helping administrators to schedule courses and individuals to manage their daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedules.

Facilities Management: AI is effective at “monitoring the status of power, Wi-Fi and water services; alerting the facilities management workers when problems arise.”

Overall School Management: AI is currently being used to manage entire schools, powering student records systems, transportation, IT, maintenance, scheduling, budgeting, etc.

Writing: Not only does Lynch assert that AI is already at work helping students improve their writing skills, he confesses, “I am currently using a grammar and usage app to help me write this article.”

Running down his list, Lynch also cites current uses of AI in education that include:

  • Classroom/Behavior Management
  • Lesson Planning
  • Classroom Audio-Visual
  • Parent-Teacher Communication
  • Language Learning
  • Test Prep
  • Assessment
  • Learning Management Systems
  • Gamification for Enhanced Student Engagement
  • Staff Scheduling and Substitute Management
  • Professional Development
  • Transportation
  • Maintenance
  • Finance
  • Cybersecurity
  • Safety and Security

Examples of how artificial intelligence is currently being used in higher education include:

  • Plagiarism Detection
  • Exam Integrity
  • Chatbots for Enrollment and Retention
  • Learning Management Systems
  • Transcription of Faculty Lectures
  • Enhanced Online Discussion Boards
  • Analyzing Student Success Metrics
  • Academic Research
  • Connected Campuses

In terms of AI-infused specific technologies now being used in education, the list grows longer every day. Here are just a few:

  • Thinkster Math: described by its creators as a “math tutoring program leverages human interaction and groundbreaking artificial intelligence to create personalized learning programs”
  • Jill Watson: an AI-enabled virtual teaching assistant introduced by the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2016
  • Brainly: a social media site for classroom questions
  • Nuance: speech recognition software used by students and faculty; capable of transcribing up to 160 words per minute; especially helpful for students who struggle with writing or have accessibility needs
  • Cognii: AI-based products, including a virtual learning assistant, for K-12 and higher education institutions, as well as corporate training organizations
  • KidSense: AI educational solutions designed for children, including a voice-to-text tool with algorithms built to recognize the sometimes harder-to-translate speech of young learners
  • Content Technologies: instructional design and content application solutions fueled by artificial intelligence research engines

As explained by CEO Dr. Scott Parfitt (see video), Content Technologies Inc. develops AI learning systems that are focused on “turning big data into information, and information into knowledge.”

“We send an engine out, it starts reading at light speed every article it can read. It’s learned its own material,” says Parfitt. The company’s education-focused solutions include:

  • Palitt: built to help instructors easily create “your own custom lecture series, syllabus or textbook”
  • Cram101: AI technology that can “turn any textbook into a smart study guide complete with chapter summaries, unlimited true-false and multiple choice practice tests and flashcards all drilled down to a specific textbook, ISBN number, author and chapter.”
  • JustTheFacts101: intended to function as the AI equivalent of an old-fashioned yellow marker, instantly highlighting and generating book and chapter-specific summaries

AI in Education [Inclusion and Universal Access]

Bernard Marr explains that AI tools can enhance inclusion and universal access to education in a number of ways, including:

  • Helping to “make global classrooms available to all, including those who speak different languages or who might have visual or hearing impairments”
  • Creating access for “students who might not be able to attend school due to illness”
  • Better serving “students who require learning at a different level or on a particular subject that isn’t available in their own school”

10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
AI is revolutionizing many industries such as medicine and finance, so what about education? Let's take a look at some examples of how AI is improving education.

https://interestingengineering.com/lists/examples-how-artificial-intelligence-improving-education


1. Personalized learning

One theory in pedagogy is that everyone has a different learning style. Some are more visual learners, some are more aural learners, while others are more kinesthetic learners, etc. While this theory has been hotly debated, it is generally agreed that people do tend to learn in different ways – whether that involves different work and study styles, learning at different paces, or finding some subjects and concepts easier than others. Given this, it makes sense to personalize the learning experience, doesn't it? But, if a school or teacher has to personalize lesson plans for every student, it would be impossible – there is simply not enough time. Enter – personalized learning using AI. 

Background Image
00:0000:00

    One of the strengths of AI is that it is capable of analyzing large amounts of data quickly and finding patterns, making it a perfect tool for developing personalized learning. AI can be used to devise individual lessons around a particular subject quickly. AI-based learning systems might also be able to give teachers detailed information about students’ learning styles, abilities, and progress and provide suggestions for how to customize their teaching methods to students’ individual needs. For example, suggesting more advanced work for some students and extra attention for others.

    Additionally, AI could be used to predict results more accurately, thereby helping teachers understand whether their lesson planning will meet targets for learning. 

    It also helps with planning, scheduling, and producing lessons for students making the experience entirely unique and hugely rewarding. This could also free up time for teachers, which can then concentrate on high-value tasks, such as working with students.

    For example, a number of universities have tested the use of chatbots for repetitive tasks that would normally be done by a professor or faculty member – such as providing answers to questions frequently asked by students. Both Staffordshire University in the U.K. and Georgia Tech have developed chatbots that offer 24/7 assistance to students. 

    10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
    Duolingo uses adaptive learning to enhance the user learning experience

    2. Adaptive learning

    Adaptive learning, or adaptive teaching, is an educational method in which AI is used to customize resources and learning activities to cater to the unique needs of each learner. This is especially useful in online learning.

    This is done via rigorous analysis of a student's performance data, after which the pace and difficulty of the course material are adjusted by the AI algorithm in order to optimize the learning process.

    This method not only optimizes learning but can also save time and resources by removing unnecessary repetition and focusing on the concepts or areas that a student might be struggling with. The teacher can provide support wherever the student needs and the student can learn at a pace they are comfortable with. 

    Many companies are incorporating adaptive learning to improve the way content is delivered. One popular example is Duolingo, a language-learning app that provides listening, reading, and speaking exercises for learning around 40 different languages. The app uses AI to help ensure that lessons are paced and leveled for each student according to their performance. 

    3. Automated grading

    Grading assignments and exams are one of the most time-consuming tasks in education. With the help of machine learning algorithms, AI tools can evaluate essays, multiple-choice tests, and programming assignments with great accuracy and efficiency, thereby saving teachers a lot of time.

    Background Image
    00:0000:00

      A computer doing these tasks not only saves time but also ensures consistency in scoring, potentially eliminating bias, including unconscious bias, teachers may have and reducing human error in the correction process. The AI tool can also provide personalized feedback to students and teachers. This can help students improve in problem areas and enables students to take ownership of their learning.

      Although automated grading powered by AI has a lot of advantages, bias may exist, even in AI. This is because machine learning algorithms are trained on data, which itself may have underlying biases. Therefore, this is still a field requiring more research to make the technology bias-free.

      For example, according to a 2021 article published in OxJournal, China has been using AI auto grading platforms with increasing volume, with around 1 in 4 schools in the country testing a machine learning auto grading platform that can also give suggestions on work done.

      10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
      ITS can help students learn at their own pace

      4. Intelligent tutoring systems

      Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are computer systems powered by machine learning algorithms that provide personalized and adaptive lesson plans based on every student's learning needs and pace. Similar to previous AI tools, ITSs analyze student data to understand learning patterns which it then uses to provide customized suggestions, feedback, and exercises suiting the individual needs of each student. 

      ITSs are helpful to both students and teachers as it allows teachers to monitor students’ progress and modify their teaching approach to deliver their lessons effectively. ITSs can help students learn at their own pace while providing support when necessary and challenging them when they are ready to learn more advanced concepts. 

      study by the U.S. Department of Education found that existing ITSs can improve student literacy by improving their reading comprehension and writing skills. However, implementation of the systems in a classroom remains a challenge. To overcome this, natural language processing techniques have been suggested for use in scoring student responses. 

      Despite the challenges faced by these systems, students have had some positive responses to the use of ITSs. Another study found that students find ITSs easy to use and learn, although not necessarily fun. 

      10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
      Coursera curate smart content courses using AI

      5. Smart content creation

      Creating lesson plans is one of the greatest challenges for a teacher, as each student has unique requirements based on the way they learn and understand concepts. The term "smart content creation" describes the use of AI to automate and enhance the generation of educational content. The AI platforms can provide detailed insight by analyzing student data to create personalized and engaging educational material. 

      Background Image
      00:0000:00

        This is then used to create customized environments depending on various learning outcomes. The students can then choose the lesson plan that aligns with their requirements. AI can help to generate interactive quizzes, simulations, and experiments, via chatbots, augmented or virtual reality, which can then be used in the customized environment to enhance the learning experience. 

        The biggest and most successful demonstration of this is Coursera. It uses AI to curate multiple educational and professional courses that can help the learner. Teachers can also suggest appropriate courses based on a student’s learning performance, pace, and individual requirements.

        10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
        Learning analytics using AI makes sifting through large amounts of student data easy

        6. Learning analytics

        Combing through large amounts of student data is a tedious task but can provide valuable insights into a student's learning and performance. Using automated analytics makes it easier to analyze large amounts of student data, and this can be sped up using AI. It makes the challenging and time-consuming task of data analysis easier. 

        Teachers can use the data to track student performance and engagement as well as to make timely interventions and provide additional support to students who require it. Similarly, students can also use it to track their performance and learning and use it to ask for additional help if they need it. The University of Michigan has a dashboard called My Learning Analytics that allows students to visualize and track their grade distribution, assignment planning, and resources. 

        However, there are also potential issues with the implementation of learning analytics in the education sector. A study published in 2022 highlights ethical and privacy issues, data collection, and data analysis as potentially challenging implementation problems for learning analytics. While the latter of the two concerns can also be solved with the use of AI, there are still significant ethical concerns that will have to be dealt with.

        7. Virtual assistants

        Many administrative tasks, such as lesson planning and organizing schedules, can be automated thanks to the power of AI. Virtual assistants take on laborious, repetitive activities, freeing up teachers' valuable time to focus on essential duties like giving lectures and interacting with students.

        Additionally, virtual assistants can provide customized feedback to students, monitor their progress, and provide additional resources based on a student's individual needs. Using AI-powered virtual assistants can help teachers streamline administrative work and focus on making the learning experience engaging for students.

        study in SpringerOpen even found a correlation between students who used virtual assistants, such as chatbots, and their academic performance. They found that students who interacted with chatbots outperformed those who interacted with the course teacher in terms of academic performance. The study was conducted on 68 undergraduate students in Ghana and made a positive case for the use of AI tools, such as virtual assistants, in the education sector.

          10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
          NLP is a technique to make computer systems understand human language

          8. Natural language processing

          Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of AI that deals with making computer systems that can understand and interpret human languages. NLP has many different applications, such as text generation, chatbots, and information extraction, among many others. One of the most popular uses of NLP is in large language models, such as ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI.

          ChatGPT may be used by students to help with homework, prepare for an exam, or simply satisfy their curiosity while learning. Teachers can also use ChatGPT to prepare lesson plans and check assignments for grammar and information. As the popularity of the software has risen, more and more students are using this resource. And although it may seem like there are no downsides to this technology, many people think otherwise. 

          Students should not see ChatGPT as their answer to all the homework questions, and similarly, teachers should not see ChatGPT as the absolute of human knowledge. As mentioned in this study, it should be viewed more as an assistive technology that responds to societal values and needs. Other concerns also exist, such as the existence of bias, the knowledge not being current, plagiarism, its use as an aid in cheating, etc.  

          There are other technologies that use NLP, such as automated essay grading systems, which have been covered earlier in the article. Future developments with the use of NLP technologies should address the various concerns with the technology when being used in the education sector.

          9. Predictive modeling

          Similar to learning analytics, AI-powered predictive modeling deals with analyzing large amounts of data, which is then used to predict various outcomes, such as student performance. This information is valuable to teachers, parents, institutions, governments, and students as they can greatly help with the learning experience and setting benchmarks. This can help teachers offer timely guidance to students based on the student's predicted performance and on their previous test or exam results. 

          Data-driven analysis is an important tool to have in education as it can improve individual student performance and give them additional support when needed, overall enriching their learning experience. It is also of value to governments for use in planning educational goals. A study on community college students used predictive modeling to identify at-risk students based on several key variables. This helped them to drive interventions to help these students. 

          10 examples of how artificial intelligence is improving education
          AR can help students get a hands on experience

          10. Augmented and virtual reality

          Immersive technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), have become increasingly popular over the past few years. AR is an immersive technology that overlays computer-generated content onto real-world objects, thus enhancing a user's perception of reality. On the other hand, VR is a simulated virtual environment that the user can experience as if it were real. These technologies are used for gaming and metaverse but have huge potential in the education sector. 

          Students can use immersive technologies to interact with the learning material to improve their understanding of complex concepts and overall enrich the learning experience. VR, in particular, has many promising applications, such as creating labs where students can conduct chemistry experiments or virtually dissect animals. AR can be used to study stars and galaxies up close, allowing students to engage with physical things and giving them more hands-on and experiential learning. 

          An article published by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) explained that AR/VR technologies can reduce the learning curve for students. They also mention that AR/VR technologies can help teachers enhance STEM courses, medical simulations, arts and humanities materials, and technical education. AR/VR technologies are already being used in several institutions, such as Arizona State University (ASU), which has collaborated with Dreamscape Immersive to create Dreamscape Learn. ASU students even created a time travel experience using this technology. 

          Conclusion

          And there you have it – 10 of the most promising examples of AI improving the education sector. While AI provides numerous advantages for both teachers and students, it's crucial to keep in mind that it also has certain disadvantages.

          One limitation of AI is that it cannot replace human interaction and empathy, which are essential in the teaching and learning process. Additionally, as was already discussed in the article, biases can be perpetuated by AI algorithms. And finally, there are always concerns about data privacy and security when it comes to AI. As a result, it is crucial to integrate AI into education, but doing so requires careful consideration of both its potential advantages and drawbacks. 

          The use of AI in education holds a lot of potentials and could even revolutionize the way future generations of students learn.

          Minute B

          WUaS Corporation and Lego Robotics - 






          Greetings, LEGO Customer Service (https://education.lego.com/en-us/about-us/contact-us), Peter Norvig (Lego Institute 2), Soren Jorgensen (Stanford Fellow, who may be in Denmark at times), All, 

          Around Mon, Jun 8, 2020, World Univ & Sch / WUaS Press / the Physical-Digital WUaS Bookstores, Computer Stores, Robotics' Stores became an official reseller of 3 Lego Robotics' kits, in the USA only (as I understood at the time) with this following language on this WUaS website per our Lego contacts at the time - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html (and in communication at the time with Lego's Matt Clark and Alexandra Vlachakis, who have since left Lego, and others). 

          Recently, the WUaS Corporation (WUaS's 2nd wing) is seeking to grow with a new startup CEO Julian Dumistrascu based in the country of Romania (with its 19 million people), and also with potentially a new chairman of the WUaS Board (of both wings), William (Holt) Maness, based in southeastern Massachusetts. In talking with startup WUaS Corp Julian Dumistrascu recently in a video call - https://youtu.be/m3Sj98NJ9O4 - the WUaS Corporation is seeking for the WUaS Educational Services' Stores to make Lego Robotics' kits available to prospective WUaS students in all 27 European Union countries, both those with the Euro currency (20 countries I think), and those not using the Euro currency (about 7 including Romania) presently (and possibly regarding a WUaS-Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency partnering too). The WUaS Corporation, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California, is also seeking to list on a central stock exchange market in the European market (possibly in Germany), and to resell Lego robotics' kits in all 27 EU countries, and indeed in all ~200 countries in the world eventually (& in their main languages) -  but unfortunately WUaS, both wings, has NEITHER yet scaled or grown to point where we can purchase Lego robotics' kits for resale to our prospective students, and wiki-Universitian volunteers (planning for speakers of all 7168 known living languages on the planet), NOR created the machine learning, artificial intelligence-informed IT platforms for the physical-digital WUaS Educational Services' Stores in any of these countries (beyond http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html). And curiously, it may be through selling Lego Robotics' kits in our developing WUaS Educational Services' Robotics' stores that will lead to WUaS getting the capital or money to further sell Lego Robotics' kits, and as WUaS begins to matriculate students for online free STEM degrees, in #WUaSHomeRobotics' tracks. 
           
          LEGO Customer Service: my first question regarding this email is "What is WUaS's / World Univ & Sch's / the WUaS Press Educational Services' stores as part of the WUaS Corporation relationship with Lego Robotics and Lego Education presently - and can the WUaS Educational Services' stores only still sell the 3 (now down to 1, since 2 Lego Robotics' kits have been retired) Lego Robotics' kit in the USA, or could WUaS with new communication with you at LEGO Customer Service lead to WUaS beginning to sell WUaS Lego Robotics' kits in all 27 European Union countries for example please, as well as in the USA? Also, World Univ & Sch just received a Lego Insiders' email, and could this be part of a new relationship for WUaS with Lego Robotics' kits please?

          And, as an inquiry, was it or could it have been you, Stanford Law Fellow's Soren Jorgensen, who initially helped or facilitated WUaS Corp becoming an authorized reseller of 3 Lego robotics' kits (even in the mid 2010s, long before 2020)? And could Julian Dumitrascu as startup WUaS Corporation CEO based in Romania begin to develop WUaS Educational Services stores, with related physical-digital IT platform development help (with Peter Norvig's LI2 Artificial Intelligence IT platform guidance even?), for WUaS Lego robotics too, in Europe with the legal advice and thinking of Stanford Fellow Soren Jorgensen sometimes in Denmark?

          Thank you, best wishes, 

          Scott

          World Univ & Sch & WUaS Corp Meeting with Julian Dumitrascu in Romania, 8/30/23 




          B i 

          Dear  LEGO Customer Service, Jesper Andersen, Carsten Rasmussen,  Soren Jorgensen, Peter Norvig, Roland Vogl, All, 

          Thank you for this email this morning - 
          Scott, STEM learning should be fun!
          - which may be a Lego reply to my Tue, Sep 12, email in this thread. 

          Regarding my Tue, Sep 12, (paraphrased) question:
          "What is WUaS's / World Univ & Sch's / the WUaS Press Educational Services' stores as part of the WUaS Corporation relationship with Lego Robotics and Lego Education presently - and can the WUaS Educational Services' stores now sell the 3 (now down to 1, since 2 Lego Robotics' kits have been retired) WUaS Lego Robotics' kits in all 27 European Union countries for example please, as well as in the USA?" 

          MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's #WUaSHomeRobotics' tracks in Engineering and STEM majors are seeking to grow with Lego Robotics' and as 10s of thousands? of prospective students matriculate into World Univ & Sch with the CC-4 licensed "CS First withGoogle at WUaS" course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - with the CC-4 licensed Lego Robotics' MIT OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and for free WUaS degrees online from students' home in all 200 countries as major MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch's - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages

          By the way, World Univ & Sch has been in the backend structured knowledge database in 300 languages' Wikidata (interoperating with Wikibase / WUaS MediaWiki) and potentially for artificial intelligence and machine learning data developments - for Lego Robotics at WUaS especially - and regarding for example the Robotics' wiki school (and check out the iterating MIT OCW courses) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics (in WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki) ... and planned in all ~200 countries' main languages. 

          So, please, what is WUaS's / World Univ & Sch's / the WUaS Press Educational Services' stores as part of the WUaS Corporation relationship with Lego Robotics and Lego Education presently - and can the WUaS Educational Services' stores now sell Lego Spike Prime, for example, and possibly emerging WUaS Lego Robotics' kits, in all 27 European Union countries for example too, please, as well as in the USA, from here a developing platform from http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ?

          There's also the beginning of a 'Fun' wiki school here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - in English (planned in all 200 countries' main languages), and check out the https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Beings_Enjoying_Life and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Enjoyment wiki subjects as well. Let's see how we can create really fun learning with Lego Robotics and regarding computer programming too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Programming.

          Thank you,
          Scott






          (and we could create a Lego Robotics' wiki subject here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - for example, too, and in all 27 European Union countries' main languages!)

          Hello Renee, and Help at the MIT Scratch programming language team, 

          Thanks for your email. Just attended a Google Educator Groups' India "Education in AI Era" session - and in asking some questions about the Scratch programming language, and the "CS First with Google at WUaS" course too - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - (and since Scratch works with Lego Robotics for coding, of which WUaS is an official carrier), I'm curious - at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, with its all 7168 known living languages' focus - how to translate Scratch and this course into India's 22 scheduled or official languages, as well as into all ~453 languages (per Ethnologue) in India? 

          How would translation into India's 22 official languages work at Scratch please? Is Scratch already engaging / using AI and ML translation ?

          Thanks, Scott
