Opportunities for Future Innovative Education Driven by the Evolution of Multimodal LLMs
With the release of GPT-4o earlier this year, users can now engage in conversations beyond text-based query, utilizing multimodal approaches such as voice and facial expressions. This development goes beyond integrating generative AI in educational settings because it highlights the possibilities for leveraging multimodal AI. Additionally, with advancements in emotion recognition and expression, there are emerging opportunities for affective interaction, which, while not yet widely implemented, are likely to be utilized in the near future. This lecture will explore various psychological and neuroscientific foundations for enhancing educational outcomes through the use of AI anthropomorphism and will include hands-on exercises to help attendees experience these opportunities and possibilities firsthand.
