What AI has to say about Living Life Backwards

Today at lunchtime, our dear friend Michel surprised us with this idea about "living life backwards". It was already uplifting on its own—a delightful moment of humor and reflection. BUT THEN, at home, I decided to push this experience further. I dropped the idea into Google’s NotebookLM AI. What came out? An incredible podcast that I can’t wait to share with you all.

Here’s a little tip: Use the custom field in NotebookLM to give instructions for the conversation. My instruction was:

Debate this text. First read it and then subsequently dive into an extended analysis of each of the philosophical, psychological, social, economical, technical, legal, political, biological, and theological dimensions. Temperature: 0.9

Now, I’m not entirely sure if the "temperature" setting in NotebookLM prompts plays a role in shaping the output... Anyway, the result is ... — just listen! 😊

An Ethical Framework for Exams and Continuous Assessment with AI

Throughout the history of education, a multitude of diverse and even contentious methodologies have been employed to assess knowledge and aptitude. Several assessment methods have been employed, ranging from oral examinations to written tests, all with the overarching objective of discerning the extent to which students comprehend the subject matter in a manner that is equitable, comprehensive, and optimal. In the present context, amidst the cusp of a forthcoming epoch, the ongoing discourse persists, albeit with a futuristic inclination. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about transformative changes in the field of education, revolutionizing the tools and methodologies employed for assessment and evaluation. As we transition into this emerging era, it is crucial to discuss the implications for the fundamental principles and ideals of education. The conventional methods of assessment, commonly characterized by high-stakes examinations and standardized tests, ha...

La Sobriété Intellectuelle appliquée à l’économie et à l’entreprise

La Sobriété Intellectuelle désigne une posture de modération et de lucidité dans l’usage de l’intelligence – qu’elle soit humaine ou artificielle – appliquée au contexte économique et managérial. À l’heure où l’ intelligence artificielle (IA) s’immisce dans l’analyse stratégique, la prise de décision économique et le management, cette sobriété se pose en contrepoids salutaire à l’enthousiasme parfois débridé pour la technologie. Par sobriété , on entend une forme de tempérance intellectuelle : éviter l’ivresse des données, le solutionnisme technologique à tout crin, et garder un esprit critique humble face aux promesses de l’IA. Il s’agit de reconnaître les limites cognitives humaines (biais, vulnérabilités, tendance à surestimer nos modèles) et les limites des machines, afin de ne pas tomber dans l’excès de confiance ou la dépendance aveugle aux algorithmes.

An Introduction to (Reverse) Meta-Prompting

Meta-prompts are prompts about prompts – they are instructions designed to guide an AI in creating or improving other prompts. In simpler terms, instead of directly asking a question or task, you ask the AI to help craft the question or task . This approach operates at a higher level of abstraction, treating the prompt itself as the subject for the AI to work on. For example, a tourism marketer could use a meta-prompt by asking: “Generate a prompt that would get an AI to write a vivid description of a tropical island destination focusing on local culture and attractions.” The AI might then output a well-structured prompt (e.g. "Describe a tropical island resort, highlighting cultural experiences, cuisine, and scenic attractions, in an enticing tone" ) which the marketer can use to get a high-quality description. How do meta-prompts work and why are they useful? Essentially, meta-prompts leverage the AI’s own knowledge of language patterns to produce better instructions. The...
