George Washington University’s (GWU) professor Lorena A. Barba presented a white paper about a pilot project to develop and deploy AI mentors over various courses and organize a faculty community of practice to build knowledge and skills.
The pilot is supported by George Washington University’s Trustworthy AI Initiative.
It analyses how a catalog of retrieval-augmented generative AI aids for course-level learning support.
In parallel, a team of social science and education researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of the AI mentors in helping students achieve learning objectives and whether students improve their use of AI assistance over time.
GWU’s technology partners for this pilot project are ibl.ai, an edtech company that develops software products based on open-source technologies with a growing expertise in generative AI for education.
