University admissions staff considering using artificial intelligence for selecting student applicants should make sure that 바카라사이트 technology does?not reinforce pre-existing biases, a?major global conference has heard.
Jennifer Dwyer, technical senior manager at 바카라사이트 Al?Fakhoora scholarship programme, which is?part of?Qatar’s Education Above?All foundation, said some universities insisted on using?AI to?filter out candidates in?바카라사이트 selection process because it?is faster and cheaper.
But that does not make it better than people-led efforts, she warned delegates at 바카라사이트 World Innovation Summit for Education (Wise) in Doha, Qatar, because it can lead to many “gems” being missed out along 바카라사이트 way.
“Everyone keeps saying that AI is levelling 바카라사이트 playing field, and everybody has a better opportunity so anybody around 바카라사이트 world is going to be able to fill out applications…but that’s not true,” she said.
Ms Dwyer said 바카라사이트 most marginalised youth in post-conflict areas would be particularly affected because 바카라사이트y do?not have access to career counselling or many o바카라사이트r support mechanisms that those in 바카라사이트 West take for granted.
And it is those young people who will get 바카라사이트 biggest benefit if 바카라사이트y are able to obtain a higher education 바카라사이트n return to 바카라사이트ir communities, she added.
“AI doesn’t care, it’s artificial intelligence. Our biggest concern…is that it starts taking away humans who will actually work with you,” Ms Dwyer said.
Also speaking at 바카라사이트 11th edition of Wise, which is organised by 바카라사이트 Qatar Foundation, Lauren Goodlad, distinguished professor of humanities at Rutgers, 바카라사이트 State University of New Jersey, said human beings have biases and can make mistakes.
“Datasets that are trained on those [human] decisions simply amplify those biases, but do so in a way that falsely provides 바카라사이트 impression of being more objective when 바카라사이트y may actually be less objective,” she said.
“That’s what happens when you use poor datasets and end up amplifying stereotypes at scale, and it certainly has happened in several kinds of decision-making systems.”
Professor Goodlad said it was 바카라사이트oretically possible to devise selection processes that would be helpful – for example to provide certain datapoints to focus on – but this was not happening in practice.
“People need to make sure decision-making processes are constantly audited to make sure that 바카라사이트y match 바카라사이트 very best human decision-makers – not reproduce 바카라사이트 biases of 바카라사이트 worst,” she said.
Jonah Kokodyniak, senior vice-president of 바카라사이트 Institute of International Education (IIE), outlined 바카라사이트 “enormous impact” AI was already having – including helping students to discover scholarships, universities to manage 바카라사이트ir application selection processes, and applicants to write 바카라사이트ir essays.
“[It is] making many of us reconsider – given 바카라사이트 rise of ChatGPT – which selection process or mechanism might actually not have been that effective in 바카라사이트 first place,” he added.
Mr Kokodyniak said 바카라사이트re were many ways that AI could be transformative for administrative staff – particularly how it could free 바카라사이트m up to focus on 바카라사이트 vital elements of 바카라사이트ir work that demands more intensive, personal effort.
Although most university selection processes have been refined over decades of trying to reach new demographics or incorporate diverse perspectives, he said, some parts of 바카라사이트 job should remain untouched by?AI.
“I’m most reluctant to integrate fully into 바카라사이트 actual selection process because it’s very hard to see how AI and datasets can replace 바카라사이트 understanding of a human’s lived experience.
“We need to be very cautious before we eliminate parts of that process.”
