The Future of Work and Learning | University of Waterloo and Google

Описание: The University of Waterloo and Google announced a research collaboration that will examine the impact of artificial intelligence on education and career readiness. The partnership includes a $1 million research agreement to create the Google Chair in the Future of Work and Learning. The Chair is situated within a broader initiative, the Future of Work Institute, which is supported by a $450,000 grant from the University of Waterloo’s Global Futures Fund. The partnership will enable a number of research and education initiatives at the intersection of technology design and pedagogical innovation, including hands-on learning labs for students to envision technologies for the future of work and learning through prototyping.

The new research chair will be held by Dr. Edith Law, professor of computer science in the Faculty of Mathematics and executive director of the Future of Work Institute. Law is an expert on Human-AI interaction and the design of technology for fostering human values in learning, healthcare and collaborative work contexts.
