Course: What is Coming Next

The final module offers a glimpse into the future of AI and its potential impact on environmental education. It involves discussions on upcoming trends in AI technology and how educators can stay updated and adaptable to these emerging tools.

Good morning, I'm Lee Mallon, and welcome to the final instalment of our Humanity course on AI for environmental educators. Over the course, we've embarked on a comprehensive journey through the capabilities of AI, exploring how it can revolutionise storytelling and content creation for environmental advocacy.

The Journey So Far

We've delved into various aspects of AI, starting with framing the narrative for our cause, understanding AI fundamentals, and progressing through generating text, images, sound, and videos. We learned to interact with data in meaningful ways, making complex information accessible and engaging through interactive AI tools.

Insights and Reflections

  • Empowerment Through Data: The importance of empirical data as a unique selling point in AI-driven content creation.
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): The evolution of NLP technologies will continue to break barriers, making AI interactions more intuitive and accessible.
  • Capturing Attention: With attention spans varying widely, AI allows us to tailor content across different formats, from short clips to long-form narratives.
  • Exploring New Modalities: The future of AI in environmental education will see an expansion into new areas like gaming and virtual experiences.

What's Next in AI?

  • Advanced Interaction: Expect more sophisticated tools for creating engaging digital experiences without coding knowledge.
  • Increased Integration: AI will become more seamlessly integrated into various content creation platforms, making its use more widespread and intuitive.
  • Expanding Modalities: From interactive web experiences to immersive VR, AI will offer new ways to engage and educate on environmental issues.

DKR: A Glimpse into the Future

I introduce the concept of DKR (Dynamic Knowledge Rendering), which outlines how future content will serve as a medium for transmitting insights and emotions. For those interested, a complimentary copy of my book on this topic is available.
