AI and education with Andrew Katz

Andrew Katz joined Virginia Tech’s “Curious Conversations” to chat about the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Katz shares his insight related to the applications of AI models, such as chat GPT, in analyzing student responses and providing feedback, as well as the challenges of AI in education and hope it can provide a more individualized education experience. Katz is an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Education and the director of the Improving Decisions in Engineering Education Agents and Systems (IDEAS) Lab at Virginia Tech. His current areas of interests include exploring how students learn and make decisions that affect the environment, how educators can use digital technologies, how engineers make design decisions for automated technologies that affect communities, as well as how education systems can promote a holistic student formation that fosters mental and physical health.
