Opening AI to Language Learning (OAILL)

… is a series of recorded conversations on topics at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular Generative AI (GenAI), and Language Education. We have started using the acronym OAILL, pronounced /_owaıl/. With my accent this sounds like the German weil (=because), but it should be more the w in the English well.

The people in conversation are listed in the table below. The people behind the scenes are:

Chris Brown: producer, editor
Shahnaz Ahmadeian Fard: moderator
Mari Ocando Finol: production coordinator

We have plans to put the recorded conversations out as podcasts, but that takes time …
