AI Wisdom Volume 1: Meta-Principles of Thinking and Learning
Teach about intelligence, not just prompts.This groundbreaking book from a former MIT AI leader reveals the deeper aspects of thinking and learning that make AI—or any other intelligence—tick.
To understand AI, you’ve got to examine the roots, the slowly evolving anchor for all future seasons. Beyond the headlines and heated debates about AI in education, or training that emphasizes formulaic prompts, the AI roots supply intuition about AI. They show students how to teach AI, as they must in every interaction with it. They learn that certain kinds of information transformations dominate how intelligences make sense of things.
These meta-principles aren't just for computer scientists. They offer educators a new lens for understanding thinking and learning itself. They're timeless, all-age, and all-subject. What class isn't about thinking and learning? And teaching AI's roots doesn't require AI use.
In AI Wisdom Volume 1, Dr. Tim Dasey strips away the technical complexity to expose AI's essence. Drawing on decades of experience in both AI development and human learning and judgment, he
Why ant colonies, economies, and AI neural networks have design similarities
How AI really does "know," including things its developers never expected
How AI learning methods reveal better ways to structure education itself
Why people and AI are creative because of nuanced concepts, not precise facts
How some AI biases and errors can be tamed
Written for educators but just as relevant to parents, business leaders, and the tech curious, AI Wisdom Volume 1 answers “what is AI?” from a multi-perspective view that integrates AI, neuroscience, psychology, and educational research, all in an approachable way.
In understanding the AI roots, educators gain not just insight into a transformative technology, but a powerful new framework for teaching students about themselves.
