Generative AI has the unique potential to transform education by making it more focused on the student, says Dr Bernardo Pereira Nunes of The Australian National University (ANU).
The power of AI in education
Today’s students can access a range of new technologies and generative AI. How can we apply these tools in the classroom?
“Improving efficiency of solar cells is really important because that directly drives the cost,” says Professor Kylie Catchpole. “If you want to use solar to make things like hydrogen to replace fossil fuels you need to bring down the cost of electricity.” Photo: Jamie Kidston/ANU

Alexander Ollman enjoyed the Capstone engineering course so much that he took it twice. Now he's returned to Capstone as a mentor aiming to design a remote piloting system for the long haul trucking industry.
Would you trust AI to drive a semi trailer?
When a kangaroo jumps in front of a semitrailer, who should make the course correction? A human driver? AI? How about a semi-autonomous piloting system controlled by a human operator thousands of kilometres away?
Meet our Co-Lab Honours Grants recipients
17 ANU-ASD Co-Lab Honours grant recipients were celebrated and welcomed into the program earlier this month. We had the opportunity to meet the group and learn about the CECC Honours projects of 2023.
“When you apply machine learning to a new industry, there is always a lot of uncertainty. It’s the not knowing that I love the most. It’s thrilling,” said Tanya Dixit, Master of Machine Learning and Computer Vision 2021.
The thrill of not knowing
Machine learning engineer Tanya Dixit ventured from India to Australia in 2019 to join one of the few graduate programs in the world focused squarely on machine learning. She also wanted to reboot her life.
A festival-like atmosphere greeted prospective students, including opportunities to interact with a robot, artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
