Gordon Wilson and 2 AI Conversations, interview w Brian G Sept 2025
In this episode Brian Gallagher interviews Gordon Wilson, Associate Professor at HanNan University in Osaka. Gordon is an amazing advocate for Artificial Intelligence research, and he presented a workshop at JALTCALL 2025 conference on exactly this entitled "Building Our Replacements: An AI-Driven, Personalized, Anytime, Anywhere Language Teaching Expert System"
He talks about inspiration, inclusion, creation, analysis, interaction, knowledge boards, scarcities, and personalization, as well as development and digital companions.
His outlook on AI is incredibly positive and in stark contrast to more cautionary and conservative speakers we may have heard in recent times. His positivity is something that we all need a good dose of to counter the worry that many people have about AI, and he explains well the opportunities that we can have if we can be open to more ideas. In this recording he demonstrates how to harness the benefits of AI as a companion to our lives as an assistive technology with a live walkthrough of interactions with an artificial intelligence that he has been developing through oral conversation. A first for our podcast.
Enjoy the show.
