    Curriculum:

    • Developed the AI in Project Management module running at WMG, PPM.
    • Created three sessions of material as well as a supporting simulation for the Decision Making in Healthcare Quality Improvement (DMHQI) module at WMG.
    • Created multiple Agile and AI presentations for our project management modules.

  • Current research interests

    Below is a list of running topics I plan to explore more in conference and / or academic publication.

    Is AI + Human vs AI advantageous to the former or the latter? For example, can a grand master with AI defeat the same AI not benefitting from an in game human expert. This essay explores the idea that so long as human + AI is superior to AI alone that humans are relevant. It is a testable hypothesis.

    How does one learn more and not less from the AI? How is post-AI knowledge best assessed? This is a pedagogy based essay that will explore a real-time enquiry into a subject showing the prompts and responses toward building an essay on a random subject, e.g. particle physics.

    Is AI more likely to save or destroy humanity? This essay will explore a scenario where AI could go rogue to stop humans from destroying themselves rather than destroying humans. After all humans, not AI, have contributed primarily to the so-called ‘Doomsday Clock’. In short, humans are more a threat to humans than AI is the thought underlying the thought experiment.

  • Welcome to my academic blog

    I use this blog to engage with stakeholders in AI, Sustainability and Project Management.

    My blog engages with current debates in these areas and explores theories and ideas which are part of my academic research.

    AI is an emerging technology and as such there is a lack of consensus on many issues in regards to its use across society. Debate on whether to use AI is moot as it is already integrated in almost everything we do in modern society.

    I am committed to maximising the utility of AI to leverage and amplify human originality, creativity, and criticality. I believe that constructivist pedagogy can positively influence this enterprise, but some assumptions regarding AI will need to change for the full capabilities of this technology to disseminate ethically and efficaciously.
