Omitting much praise, passages from a review of my keynote address on AI via Zoom in Sarajevo, translated from Bosnian:

Professor Steve McCarty in Japan: Artificial Intelligence Will Not Replace Educators

... artificial intelligence will impact teaching in much of the world and emphasizes the importance of the time students spend with teachers, whether in the classroom or online ...

Professor McCarty pointed out that artificial intelligence in education today is where online education was 30 years ago, meaning that AI in education and education of AI generate a new field for development. He emphasized that relying on AI can make knowledge an accessory rather than an individual’s expertise, [for example] the long-term effects of auto-translation and/or AI on foreign language acquisition and the impact on bilingual identity, cultural adaptation, and multiculturalism.

The Association of Online Educators in Eastern Europe might have taken some inspiration from the World Association for Online Education that I founded in 1998. Now they have invited me to present a keynote address at their annual conference in Sarajevo. The topic is "AI Challenges for University Educators," and it is relevant to all teachers and learners. I have not mentioned AI before, but I have been using it (not for writing!), and I need to understand such technologies for the EU-Asia grant project for intergovernmental digital partnerships.

The presentation slideshow is available by scrolling down the page at http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.22632.58882

The Indo-Pacific European Hub for Digital Partnerships (INPACE), funded by the EU and partners India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore (2024-2027), helps to implement the intergovernmental digital partnerships signed by heads of state in recent years. It has been an honor, but I haven't felt confident of being deemed worthy amid experts in cutting-edge technologies. However, recently I'm starting to receive recognition, which is always a surprise.

The following was sent to all of the international project members and refers to an article of possible interest to readers here: "Our esteemed expert in the Digital Education and Skills Working Group, who is the President of the World Association for Online Education, Steve McCarty from Japan, has shared an interesting article on online education.

New publication: "Interview with Steve McCarty" [on his professorial accomplishments in Japan].

The College and University Educators research group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching has honored me with their second annual Veteran Teacher Voices interview on my teaching career in Japan. I critique the foreign language teaching profession, discuss future trends of increasing foreigners in Japan, the need for English, and long-term effects of AI on language acquisition.

I believe educationalists will find this article interesting: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386424805
