Ed3 Weekly Issue #84: Web3 and AI Synergy
Examining the connections between AI and an on-chain future
Hello web3 and education friends,
Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter! In this issue we're exploring the realms of spatial computing, AI policy, and the evolving landscape of companies dedicated to AI product development.
In an AI-enabled, on-chain future of education, we are not just looking at incremental changes but a fundamental reshaping of the learning experience. This technology holds the potential to revolutionize the way students interact with complex concepts, making abstract ideas tangible and engaging.
As we embrace these advancements, AI policy becomes an essential pillar in ensuring ethical, equitable, and effective implementation. The policy decisions we make today will shape the educational landscape of tomorrow, determining how these tools are used and who benefits from them. It's not just about harnessing the power of AI but doing so in a way that aligns with our values and educational goals.
The saga surrounding ChatGPT’s shifting CEO situation demonstrates that the evolution of companies focusing on AI product development is a barometer for the changes we can expect in the educational sector. These companies are not just creating products; they're crafting the tools and platforms that will underpin future educational experiences. Their trajectories give us insights into how AI will become more integrated into learning, offering personalized, dynamic, and responsive educational tools.
Enjoy this week's resources. I hope they spark ideas and equip us for the journey ahead in building an AI-enabled, on-chain future of education.

Web3 and AI: A Blueprint for Learning Architecture in the Digital Age
This blog post by Dr. Mike Peck summarizes a thought-provoking guest lecture for Doctoral Candidates in Technology Leadership, the slow evolution of educational systems was highlighted against the backdrop of rapid technological advancements over the past two decades. Despite living in a digital age marked by the rise of Web3 technologies like the metaverse, blockchains, and AI, educational structures remain largely unchanged from early 20th-century models.
Dr. Peck envisages a future where education undergoes a transformative shift, leveraging the synergy of AI and Web3 to move beyond traditional classroom settings and standardized testing. It emphasizes the need for a harmonious balance between AI's personalization capabilities and Web3's decentralized frameworks to create more dynamic, inclusive, and learner-centric educational experiences, while also acknowledging the challenges of integrating these advanced technologies into existing educational systems.
