Humans and AI writing lectures together

With the recent advancements in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT4, there has been a significant shift in how information can be easily accessed, generated, and utilized. This study uses these advancements to create a tool where humans and AI generate complete lectures, encompassing the entire process from structure outlining and scriptwriting to slide creation and delivery via a digital avatar. The motivation behind this study comes from the challenges faced in the educational sector, including the time-consuming nature of lecture preparation and the potentially static nature of reused lectures. By integrating LLMs and other GenAI technologies such as image, video, and speech synthesis, the proposed solution aims to provide a dynamic and adaptable workflow that may speed up the lecture creation process and keep content up to date. We are interested in whether such a hybrid system of human experts and AI technologies can be helpful. To answer our research question, we developed a tool that combines multiple AI technologies into one easy-to-use interface. It allows educators to generate a lecture within minutes by simply entering a topic. As LLMs are not yet fully trustworthy. Thus, we deemed it important that the system allows theuser (educator) to step in at any point and make manual changes if needed.
