The End Times Are Here AI Chatbots and the Dismantlement of the Authorial Structure

by Katherine Reilly, originally published in ELT NEWS

Perhaps one of the most controversial topics I have ever been called upon to examine is that of the thinking machine. The dominant fear amongst skeptics is one of an artificial takeover via physical altercations, of technology over man. The imagery of science fiction may flood our minds; graphic depictions such as those featured in the popular Terminator film franchise, in which a dystopian future was brought about by our dependence on an entity of our own creation. Look no further fellow educators, for the future is dawning upon us. Whether we realize it or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already paved the way to restructuring our lives and the course of events that will follow. No, we are not referring to the potential physical dominance by AI, but rather our compliant cognitive subjugation to it.

Plenary Speaker, Foreign Languages Forum Athens

When teaching a class, one must bear in mind a plethora of elements associated with cultural and social diversity. The special educational needs and abilities of each individual student must also be taken into account. Modern textbooks cater to a general audience and must be adapted accordingly to provide an inclusive lesson which can be accessible to all. Special thanks to the Foreign Languages Forum for organizing this prestigious event at the Royal Olympic Hotel. Registration is free and the attendees will receive a special gift I will be offering at the end of the presentation. Looking forward to seeing you all. Happy summer!
