Abstract

The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been under scrutiny for many years running, but now we have a much-needed introspection into the value and the ubiquity of this new technology. If the internet, and more specifically the World Wide Web, produced a radical change in our relationship with knowledge, making it overly abundant, AI is right under our eyes (literally and figuratively speaking), fueling an obvious change in our approach and understanding of thinking. The second edition of Jose Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson’s Teaching with AI delves into the availability of and access to research materials and expertise dealing with the spread of knowledge in teaching and learning enhanced by AI but also with the rise of filtered and unfiltered and oftentimes weird misinformation.
