You might have had it for a while. The feeling that the world is spinning faster than ever before. That the ground beneath our feet is shifting and rules that applied yesterday are outdated today. That is no coincidence. We are not on the eve of a change; we are in the middle of it.
In De Grote Verandering, Robbert van Empel shows that we are dealing with a unique historical event. Not one, but four technological revolutions are taking place simultaneously: the breakthrough of artificial intelligence (AI), the transition to almost clean energy, the revolution in biotechnology, and the explosion of sensors. Together, these forces form a flywheel that redefines our society, our economy, and even our essence as human beings.
This is not a technical manual, but an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to understand what is coming at us. In clear language, without jargon, Robbert peels back the complex mechanisms.
The future is not a wave that you should passively let wash over you. It is time to wake up. Not to resist progress, but to take the wheel yourself before technology leaves us behind.
Do you also find AI complicated? You hear about it everywhere: artificial intelligence, or AI. It sounds like something for experts with computers. But that is not true. AI is a new tool that everyone can learn to use. Just like a smartphone.
This book is your simple manual in which author and AI expert Robbert van Empel explains without difficult words how you become the boss of AI. You will learn how to ask the right questions so that the technology gives exactly what you are looking for, and how you can use AI broadly for your work, from writing emails to coming up with creative ideas. In addition, the book offers smart tricks and clear rules to consistently get the best answers from the computer.
Step by step you change from a beginner into someone who can use AI smartly and practically. Are you ready to turn the knobs yourself? With this book, you can do it too.
In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly gaining ground, "The AI Basics Guide for Teachers" offers exactly what you need: a down-to-earth, practical, and inspiring guide to working with AI as a teacher smarter, safer, and with more pleasure.
No hype, but tools. From smart tools to reducing workload, from legislation to lesson examples – this guide gives you an overview and confidence. For teachers who want to start, deepen, or take colleagues along. With experiences from the classroom, concrete prompts, and tools that you can use immediately. The guide that every teacher needs to use AI smartly and humanly.
