AI forces a rethink on executive MBA teaching

  • One of the key purposes of AI is surely to simulate or imitate humanlike behaviour. To what extent does modern AI cast new light on the computer metaphor favoured by cognitive psychologists?

  • AI can learn to solve problems through trial and error, and will adapt based on feedback/success. What parallels are there between this and what we know about human learning?

  • Some students use AI to support their learning, whereas others try to use it to reduce the amount of thinking, planning and writing they have to do. Compare and contrast what Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky might think about AI as an educational tool
