අපි හිතන්න දන්නේ නෑ. AI නිසා නිකන්ම කෙලවෙනවා We forgot how to think - Dr. Chameera De Silva
<p>Many thanks to Dr. Chameera De Silva for accepting my invitation to join the Science Talks podcast. He is a Doctoral Scholar in Artificial Intelligence from Australia and a Consultant in AI – Atos. He is passionate about popularizing AI and trying new teaching and testing strategies on his students. The present day testing methods in our education system does not prepare our students for success. We have lost the art of thinking and instead we only limit ourselves to calculations and memorization – tasks which are easy for computers to take on. What can we do to improve our thinking? </p>
