Crutch or ladder? The real AI divide | Christian Corcino | TEDxCumbaya
Artificial intelligence in education can democratize knowledge, yet it may also widen the gaps it aims to close. Christian Corcino examines this paradox through the concept of a "cognitive floor", arguing that the difference lies not only in access to AI but in the ability to question, verify and learn with it. He proposes moving from AI as a crutch that thinks for us to a ladder that helps build our own thinking. The talk was given at TEDxCumbaya, an independently organized TEDx event.
In this video- The paradox of AI: it can democratize knowledge but also widen gaps
- The "cognitive floor" and the need to question and verify AI
- From crutch to ladder: using AI to develop one's own thinking
Christian Corcino explora una paradoja de la inteligencia artificial en la educación: la misma herramienta que promete democratizar el conocimiento puede ampliar las brechas que intenta cerrar. A través del concepto de “piso cognitivo”, plantea que la diferencia no está simplemente en tener acceso a la IA, sino en contar con las capacidades para cuestionarla, verificarla y aprender con ella. Su propuesta es transformar la IA de una muleta que piensa por nosotros en una escalera que ayude a desarrollar nuestro propio pensamiento. Christian lleva más de dos décadas explorando cómo la tecnología transforma la manera en que aprendemos, trabajamos y desarrollamos talento. Su trayectoria combina desarrollo de software, educación técnica y creación de oportunidades de aprendizaje práctico para jóvenes y profesionales. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
