Description

Justin is founder of Germinotion. He is an insatiable generalist who weaves solutions using strands from learning design, behavioural design, data analytics, AI and more. He has a particular interest in using AI to supplement and enhance human reasoning. Between projects, you will find him reading P.G. Wodehouse and eating chocolate biscuits.


This fascinating episode covers so much:



  • Do AI models have personalities?

  • How when it comes to personalised bots that will be with you through your life, we’re almost there now

  • How AI helps us learn complex tasks at a much younger age - and what that might mean to education

  • How multimodal AI will become a new set of eyes and ears, augmenting and accelerating our learning

  • How our minds will extend into AI through the notion of transactive memory

  • The distinction between a recipe, technique and tactic when it comes to AI - and why tactics and techniques are so much more effective than recipes

  • The two ways to prompt AI - outcomes-based, and process-based

  • What a good AI workflow looks like for educators

  • The potential of institutionalising mediocrity by getting AI to do the same as we’ve done before, only faster

  • How you can get an AI to reason with itself through chain of thought and reflection prompting


It's the most in depth discussion I've had to date, and Justin was a joy to listen to.
