Welcome to the AI in Education podcast With Dan Bowen from Microsoft Australia and Ray Fleming from InnovateGPT It's a weekly chat about Artificial Intelligence in Education - what it is, how it works, and the different ways it is being used. It's not too serious, or too technical, and is intended to be a good conversation of background information. Of course, as well as getting it here on the website, you can also just subscribe to your normal podcast service:      “This podcast is produced by a Microsoft Australia & New Zealand employee, alongside an employee from InnovateGPT. The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are our own.”

Unbelievably, it's our 5th Anniversary (AI-nniversary?) and to mark the milestone of an AI podcast that's had more pivots than a robot's legs, and more chat than a chatbot, we've pulled together some of the top episodes from the 108 episodes of the podcast so far, and got the band back together (regretfully, we were unable to persuade Beth Worral, who co-hosted in 2022-2023, to come back for our party podcast - she'd reached escape velocity), so you'll hear Dan, Ray and Lee reminiscing like old men in a shed.

Great Guests & Top Episodes

Our very first guest - Microsoft's Troy Waller in AI for Accessibility in 2019

Our most listened episode from 2019 and very first external guest - the brilliant Dr David Kellerman in Using AI to personalise learning at UNSW Sydney

Our top 2020 episode was A Brief History of AI, which looked backin to the human obsession with creating artificial replicas of themselves. When did it start, who started it, what is the AI winter and how did it accelerate so quickly in the last 10 years. (And even faster in the last 4 years since?)

In 2021, another great guest topped our episode charts, with Feel the force: Emerge to the future with Sly Lee as Sly talked about his work around VR and AR and the mergeing of physical and virtual worlds

For 2022, it was the Christmas edition that hit the heights, with all four co-hosts - Beth, Lee, Dan & Ray - together for the quizzically named Christmas, Infinite Monkeys and everything

By 2023, we were back on solid pedagogy again, with the episode AI - The fuel that drives insight in K12 with Travis Smith (the kind of title a marketing manager would love?)

And, although we've not yet reached the end of 2024 and we've got some great episodes ahead, the top episode this far is University of Sydney and the future of assessment with Danny Liu and Adam Bridgman

We also had fond memories of:
