Cornell Daily Sun: Where Technology Meets Learning: Inside Cornell’s Future of Learning Lab
Founded by Rene Kizilcec roughly seven and a half years ago, the Future of Learning Lab studies the intersection of technology, education and learning science across all age groups, from primary through post-secondary. The lab’s projects span a variety of application areas, from a national database of tutoring interactions to artificial intelligence powered clinical training tools deployed at medical schools across the country to a language-learning platform used in Cornell’s own classrooms.
Ph.D. student Deepak Varuvel Dennison writes about the threat of GenAI to local knowledge in The Guardian
As generative AI becomes a dominant gateway to information, we risk losing something far older and harder to replace: the local knowledge, cultural memory, and lived expertise that never makes it into training data. In a new commentary, Deepak Varuvel Dennison, a Ph.D. student in Information Science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, warns that this shift could trigger a global “knowledge collapse”—and that we’re only beginning to understand what’s slipping away.
