L'IA peut être intéressante

Phil: So to me, that is potentially transformative. But what exemplified the issue is, and I don't know if HeyGen's listening to this podcast, they kept wanting to show me the avatar.

They also have this avatar that you can create speaking in this voice that matches what you were saying. I'm like, avatars, come on. That's so cutesy. I'm not saying nobody wants to use it, but it's secondary. It's like you have something with potential. Take lectures, take educational content from real video and broaden the access in a much better way. But I don't even think HeyGen realizes that's a more transformative part of what they do and they kept wanting to show me the avatar which I think was not as important. to me, but that wasn't even in the AI show, but it was one of the more interesting AI examples. So that's sort of my observations leading into it.

Neil: Yeah, I'm going to butt in before Morgan has a turn because that kind of marries up with something I've seen recently which I think is super interesting. Which is a university in Germany called Tomorrow University, where they've essentially launched AI powered multilingual degree programs. Which kind of speak to what you're talking about - the ability, it's not just an English program or a German program, they're actually using AI for that, and I'm not sure if they're a fully online university. But they certainly have a lot of online stuff.

And I think there's a lot of news isn't there, there's a lot of hype, but the stuff like that really cuts through for me because it's really interesting and powerful. But not seeing a lot of it, but that was something that came on my radar and it kind of chimes with what you're saying.

Phil: Yeah, definitely have to check them out. I'll do that tomorrow.

Morgan: Even in terms of the kinds of things that folks were exhibiting at the AI show, there was a lot of academic integrity, which I'm very tired of. But, again, there was this disjuncture because I had a fascinating conversation with some folks who weren't exhibiting, like Roger Larsen from Norvalid and so on, about how there has been a shift in the way we think about the future of academic integrity is not observing people taking exams and things like that. It's got to go in some different kinds of direction.

And he has a solution, but other people also have other solutions. So perhaps we need to rethink how we think about that and approach in a different way. But the kinds of solutions we were seeing there were very old school, you know, perhaps lower cost or something.
