Neural networks and creativity: a vocational school in Moscow uses AI in the educational process
Developed by students and teachers, the AI chatbot and interactive game will be used in the educational process of the Krasin Creative Industries School. This solution will help train teachers to work with large language models of neural networks that generate natural-sounding human speech and create text. It will also introduce students to the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence in design and book publishing.
“Just a few years ago, we were positive that automation would only affect routine tasks, leaving creativity out. However, artificial intelligence has already taken on some responsibilities that require a creative approach. This must be considered in the educational process. To use neural networks efficiently, we have developed a special chatbot. It will help teachers explore and understand basic principles of working with artificial intelligence. We have also developed regulations and guidelines for the use of the chatbot in different academic disciplines,” notes Liana Tabatadze, Director of the Krasin Creative Industries School.
The GPT3.5 chatbot was developed by logic and philosophy teacher Konstantin Pavlyuts. The new solution will assist publishing, design and painting teachers. They will be able to get examples, tasks, alternative solutions performance assessment and recommendations.
“The first stage involved the collection of information by the development team to explore the potential functions and capabilities. Experts have surveyed teachers and learners to understand their needs. Students actively tested the bot: they used it to complete relevant tasks and shared feedback. Based on the information received, we have refined the solution. The team went through several iterations testing new features and fixing bugs to ensure that the bot works correctly and meets user needs,” says Konstantin Pavlyuts.
The teacher, together with his colleague, further education teacher Elena Naumova, and students, have developed an interactive game to explore the future of the creative industry. It involved discussions on ethical challenges of generative artificial intelligence in design and book publishing. The study covered fake images, the use of other people’s data, in-demand jobs and AI ethics.
The game that makes a player feel like a book publisher or a designer is available on the website of the Vocational Education Museum of the Krasin Creative Industries School. It was highly praised by partner employers. Mariya Ryavina, the production manager of a publishing service, emphasized the thoughtful approach to understanding the impact of artificial intelligence on creative industries, well-thought-out illustrations and navigation and high-quality visualization.
