In the last decade, debates on digitalization programs and on dynamics of datafication have become increasingly influential at universities. More recently, debates on the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) have begun, although corresponding questions about changing knowledge ecologies are currently underexplored in educational research. The processes of changing knowledge production are encountering relatively entrenched structures of knowledge organization and communication at universities, which are struggling to handle these new challenges. In this paper we use the historically-shaped university organization structures in three European countries as cases of analysis. Thus, first we give an overview of the concepts of knowledge ecology and knowledge diversity, followed by, second, a critical discussion of current trends in the digitalization and datafication of scientific knowledge production in education with examples from Italy, Austria and Germany, The choice of these different and highly complex scientific systems is justified by our experiences in these diverse contexts and corresponding academic affiliations. Third, we reflect on the implications of changing knowledge ecologies and knowledge diversity for the future of higher education.

  • H Obeid + 3 more

In recent years artificial intelligence has entered a new era, which gives rise to many hopes for powerful states such as the United States and China. In this paper, we analyze the importance and role of artificial intelligence in technological development in each of the two countries on the one hand, and its influence on China-American relations in terms of technological and geopolitical conflict. To get the right results, we rely on a literature review of dozens of articles published on the phenomenon in order to compare the power of artificial intelligence between the United States and China where we found that the US still has technological strength, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, but we can say that a large force is beginning pose a threat for it which is China that has great technological capabilities so, we can say that the United States should work more in this field. Also, we found that artificial intelligence has a primary goal in both countries, it helps China to achieve its ambitions to be the leader of the world, and this intelligence, on the other hand, provides protection and security to the United States. This paper is divided into three sections. The first section focuses on the importance of artificial intelligence in achieving China’s ambitions, the second section explains the role of artificial intelligence in the US protection service, and the third section describes the technological and geopolitical conflict resulting from the competition in artificial intelligence between these two countries. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, United States, China, Conflict, leader.

This article outlines areas of action of researchers as tools to interpret for whom the area of Education produces knowledge. It contextualizes the research in Education in Brazil in its peculiar institutional and epistemological conditions. It works with sociological concepts such as scientific field, scientific capitals, and autonomy of the professional field to illuminate aspects of the Brazilian academic context of knowledge production in Education. It associates these concepts with the notions of domain and dialogue with audiences to advance in the interpretation of the contradictions and heteronomies faced by the area. It is grounded on the qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with Brazilian researchers recognized for their academic representativeness with productivity grants and a history of leadership in scientific research. It questions how relationships with different social groups support processes of knowledge production and circulation. To account for this questioning, it characterizes the academic-scientific subfield of Education in terms of specific capitals, research audiences, prestige criteria, and political relations. It discusses strategies of dialogue as instrumental categories to interpret phenomena associated with scientific and political legitimacy. As a result, it finds four domains of action in knowledge production in Education: scientific-disciplinary; pedagogical; political-managerial; dialogical socio-educational. It concludes that, when acting in the different domains, these researchers differently order the priorities conferred to scientific rigor and socio-educational intervention.

Knowledge infrastructure crisis: digital democratic deficits and alternative designs for education
  • Nov 2, 2025
  • Oxford Review of Education
  • Ben Williamson + 2 more

The production and circulation of knowledge in education increasingly depends on large-scale digital infrastructures. In this article we provide a critical review of the transformation of the contemporary ‘knowledge infrastructures’ underpinning knowledge production and reproduction in education. Contributing to the Special Issue on ‘knowledge crises’ in education, we conceive of recent and ongoing developments in the digitalisation and datafication of education as a ‘knowledge infrastructure crisis’ that is exerting profound effects on education as a field of practice and research. The article examines (1) the knowledge technologies, such as digital platforms and artificial intelligence, being introduced into educational practice, and (2) transformations in knowledge-making systems, including AI research services, that are now shaping educational research. These infrastructural transformations portend the erosion of teachers’ pedagogic autonomy and authority over curricular knowledge by automated technologies, the displacement of research to commercial AI labs and a reconfiguration of educational research as a big data enterprise. As a response to this knowledge infrastructure crisis, we offer (3) a review of alternative infrastructuring projects in the domains of educational practice and research, and their potential to address the growing democratic deficits in educational knowledge production, access and reproduction.

Educational Researchers: Living With a Lesser Form of Knowledge
  • Nov 1, 1998
  • Educational Researcher
  • David F Labaree

In this article, I argue that key characteristics of educational knowledge both constrain and enable the work of educational researchers, as producers of this knowledge, in distinctive ways. Educational knowledge is soft (vs. hard), applied (vs. Pure), and provides use value (vs. exchange value). As a result, knowledge production in education is organized in a manner that is structurally egalitarian and substantively divergent. Some consequences of this are negative. For example, educational researchers find themselves unable to speak authoritatively about their field and feel pressure to imitate unproductive forms of intellectual practice. Other consequences are positive: For example, they have the potential for speaking to a wide lay audience and for participating in a relatively open and unregulated mode of scholarly production.

Abstract PO-056: Importance of artificial intelligence, machine learning deep learning in the field of medicine on the future role of the physician
  • Mar 1, 2021
  • Clinical Cancer Research
  • Subash Kumar

There are many ways to define the field of Artificial Intelligence. Here is one way for Artificial Intelligence is "The Study of the computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, act and predict the future possible outcomes”. Deep learning, which is a popular research area of artificial intelligence (AI), enables the creation of end-to-end models to achieve promised results using input data. Deep learning techniques have been successfully applied in many problems such as arrhythmia detection, skin cancer classification, breast cancer detection, brain disease classification, pneumonia detection, COVID-19 from chest X-ray images, and CT scan images. Almost all hospitals have CT imaging machines; therefore, the chest CT images can be utilized for early classification of diseases. However, the chest CT classification involves a radiology expert and considerable time, which is valuable when any infection is growing at a rapid rate. Therefore, automated analysis of chest CT images is desirable to save the medical professionals precious time that shows the importance of Artificial Intelligence neural networks which is used to classify the infected patients as infected (+ve) or not (−ve). There is a vital need to detect the disease at an early stage and save the patient from the disease. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are a powerful tool that comes under the platform of Neural Networks – Artificial Intelligence inspired by the human brain, which is extensively utilized for image classification. The hierarchical structure and efficient feature extraction characteristics from an image make CNN a dynamic model for image classification. Initially, the layers are organized into three dimensions: width, height, and depth. The neurons in a given layer do not attach to the entire set of neurons in the later layer, but only to limited neurons of it. Finally, the output is diminished to a single vector of probability scores, coordinated alongside the depth dimension. In a Convolutional Neural Network, the linear function that is used is called a convolutional layer. Each node in the hidden layer extracts different features by using image processing feature detectors. For example, in the first layer, the first node may extract the horizontal edges of an image, the second node may extract vertical edges and etc. These features are extracted using a kernel. The bottom is the original image and the top is the output of the convolutions. It is also worth noting that the output of the convolutions reduces the dimension of the original image, The next step the pooling layer happens tends to be computed after the convolutional layer. The reason why pooling is done is to further reduce the dimensions of the convolutional layer and just extract out the features to make the model more robust. AI could help to rapidly diagnose diseases if proper attention given in collecting the data. Citation Format: Subash Kumar.

The demand for artificial intelligence in the world is increasing day by day in the gastronomy sector. In this study, the importance of artificial intelligence in the gastronomy sector is emphasized and the studies on this subject are mentioned. Since the studies in the literature are limited, studies on all sub-branches related to artificial intelligence-based gastronomy and tourism are mentioned. The number of studies related to gastronomy and artificial intelligence in the literature is limited. Therefore, in this study, artificial intelligence applications used in the gastronomy sector are detailed under the subheadings of cuisine, promotion, health, and forecasting. Accordingly, approximately 40 articles were analyzed considering these sub-headings. In light of the information obtained from these studies, artificial intelligence systems to be developed in the gastronomy sector will provide great gains. Moreover, it is estimated that meeting consumer expectations and using innovative technologies in the gastronomy sector will increase the popularity of gastronomy science.

O ensino da pesquisa para a diversidade da pesquisa em educacao ( Research education for diversity in educational research )

  • Andrew Brown

Concern expressed by government and other funding agencies and consumers of research, about the quality and relevance of research in the field of education affects not only the kind of research is conducted but also the way in which we educate researchers. The economic imperative for ‘value for money’ from research and researchers has, for instance, led to the education of research students to be seen increasingly in terms of training in a range of generic skills that can be applied to the investigation of a range of forms of research problem in a variety of contexts. Whilst breadth in the education of researchers has clear advantages, both for the careers of individual researchers and the wider research community, there is some tension between this approach and the more established view of a research degree as an induction into a narrow domain of knowledge and the production of a highly specialised academic identity. There are further developments that erode this notion of specialisation, for instance the growth of mixed method research, which has the potential to challenge the polarisation of qualitative and quantitative research, and shifts in the sites and agents of educational research signified by the growth of professional doctorates, which could further challenge the university as a dominant institution in the production of educational knowledge. In this paper I will explore what these developments mean for the teaching of research and consider how we can work collaboratively to develop both professional researchers and researching professionals, and reconcile the acquisition of skills with induction into specialised knowledge domains. This will involve exploration of both an overarching framework for thinking about the processes of doing research and specific examples of practice. Underlying the approach taken is a general commitment to research education, rather than to training and the teaching of methods, and the desire to ensure dynamism and diversity in educational research, in terms of approach, substantive focus and theoretical orientation, and of sites, practices
