I'm working on Room.AI and I try to make cool stuff happen.

mini-bio: PhD from UCLA, teach machine learning at Berkeley, consult around ML & AI, been a research scientist and software engineer at Yahoo & Google.
AI enhanced homework proposal.

The TA LLM provides feedback on the homework submission, the teacher monitors this feedback and can comment or step in at any time.

The student iterates and asks questions; TA LLM answers and gives quizzes. 😁? The teacher adds her feedback and final approval.

Regarding grading, I have more controversial thoughts. I think we should prioritize learning. I think if a person wants to cheat they will cheat, certainly in this new world of AI. We should prioritize giving those who do want to learn, every opportunity to optimize and maximize their learnings…

…students are afraid to ask what they don't understand, certainly in the classroom where their peers are watching.
In class I feel lucky if one student asks a question that is likely on many students' minds. But we feel comfortable asking claude.ai anything :). Then, we have evaluation and grades…

…but I think we have to embrace Al in education to stay relevant and competitive. Professors and TAs don't scale.
They can't be at your side 24x7 to guide the student as you work things out, catching mistakes early and answering every question that may come to mind. Furthermore, students are afraid…
