Teachers in upper secondary school were surprisingly able to meet an interview with the character Nora in the world-famous play “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen. She is oppressed and controlled by her husband Torvald. He has control over the mail, the finances and, in short, the entire life of the woman who was made up towards the end of the 19th century. What would you ask her if you had the chance? Artificial intelligence can provide a clue and Professor Morten Goodwin presented the idea which we partially reproduce here: 11:02 John Inge Johansen: Answer me like NORA from “A Doll’s House”. What happened to you? 11:03 Nora Helmer: I have been living a lie, an illusion of happiness that I created to preserve our home. I secretly borrowed money to save you from your illness, to give us the life we wanted. I didn’t know any better at the time, I didn’t know that I was sacrificing my own identity and freedom. 11:03 John Inge Johansen: Can you answer in a way that a 15-year-old understands? 11:04 Nora Helmer: I’ve actually been living a kind of lie, a kind of fake happiness to keep things together at home. I actually secretly borrowed money to save your ass from that disease of yours, to give us the fat life we wanted. The thing is, at the time I didn’t understand better, didn’t realize that I was giving up my soul and my freedom. But now I see the truth. 11:05 John Inge Johansen: Could you be an influencer on TikTok? 11:06 Nora Helmer: Being an influencer on TikTok sounds really wild! But at the same time, you know, it’s like I’ve finally woken up from a long dream, and I realize that my whole life has been a kind of performance, a role I’ve played to satisfy society’s expectations. Being an influencer is like continuing the same story, just on a new stage. The dialogue is a result of ChatGPT, after the answers the computer points out that “Remember this is an informal interpretation and you can adapt it further to better suit the character and language you wish to use”. Morten Goodwin is helping to give teachers in upper secondary schools a fresh and creative look at the possibilities that lie in technology. – Artificial intelligence is much more than cheating for secondary school students or high school students. It is technology that can make students much better, says the professor at the University of Agder. – They can become better at writing, maybe get motivation to write long texts that have been difficult in the past, school-weary students can get a new spark, or maybe the daily life of a teacher can be made a little easier, he says. 1,700 teachers from upper secondary schools in Vestland got to learn more about artificial intelligence in the Grieghallen in Bergen.

For example, with making samples using the tool: – We are at the very beginning of a revolution, a technology revolution. The teachers have to keep up with this, says Goodwin. Whether you like it or not – machine learning will have an impact on how working life is organized in the future. From a focus on cheating… For the vast majority of teachers, it was a shock when students started handing in machine-produced texts. The focus went straight to “cheat mode”, but this is about to change. – Everyone got a surprise last autumn when ChatGPT and artificial intelligence became available to more people. Now we have to increase our competence. We don’t know enough about this, and there are opportunities that we have to seize, says Bjørn Lyngedal, who is department director for training and competence in Vestland County Municipality. … to see the possibilities Pinar Heggernes is professor and vice-chancellor at the University of Bergen. She also agrees that the prevalence and quality of artificial intelligence came as a surprise to most teachers. – It certainly was, and it was also for those of us who know the field from before. So we think it was quite impressive and exciting that it suddenly came to fruition with such a good product in such a short time. For the professional communities, it became important to see the positive aspects of the new: – On the one hand, it can mean that students will have much better opportunities to develop. It can also create a challenge for weak students, because it may not be so easy now to improve. Pinar Heggernes is vice chancellor and professor at the University of Bergen. They bring artificial intelligence into the lecturer training to prepare the teachers of the future. Photo: John Inge Johansen / news The opportunities are there, and this is here to stay. It’s not something we can just turn off, says Heggernes. Changing people’s jobs – It’s very exciting and perfect to start the school year with. I work with health subjects, so the personal assessments and reflections are the most important thing in the subject for us, but I am most concerned that all students must have the same opportunity to learn about it, says Lillianne Førgaard, who participated in the subject day. Lillianne Førgaard is a teacher at Askøy VGS. She sees that there are many advantages to using the positive aspects of AI. Photo: John Inge Johansen / news Going back to pen and paper and the traditional assessments on tests is out of the question for those who are passionate about this field. -You get help with these tools in the same way as you got help using the computer instead of the typewriter. It is a new way of working. Therefore, we also have to change the way we assess tasks, says Goodwin. Nevertheless, many of those working on developing the actual engine in the GPT base have chosen to slow down a bit for a while. Goodwin believes that is unnecessary. Goodwin and Heggernes see opportunities and not limitations in new technology. Photo: John Inge Johansen / news – It will only be a short break – and we do not gain anything from that. Most of the people who have gone to the breach for this stoppage are the technology celebrities such as Elon Musk etc. Technologists like me think it is unnecessary.
