Press Coverage of Research
Much of the press coverage of my and my colleagues' work has focused on applying AI in education for supporting student learning and in Psychiatric Assessment and monitoring. Some has been quite complementary about the successes and potential uses of the research and resulting applications. Some has been critical, much under the mistaken assumption that the goal is for AI is to replace teachers or clinicians. It is not. The goal for education is to allow students to receive high quality feedback faster while allowing teachers to know which students are having difficulties and providing the teachers with more time to help those that need it. The goal for clinical applications is to understanding the underlying neuropsychological mechanisms and enable more sensitive and frequent monitoring of patient mental states and rapid alerting of clinicians.
