Praxis, which is part of our publishing house Lindhardt og Ringhof, has seriously embraced artificial intelligence as a useful tool in the world of education. As a developer and publisher of teaching materials, subject matter and digital solutions for education, Praxis has over the years built up extensive experience with learning content for youth and adult education. And they are now combining AI to optimize workflows and ensure more equal access to learning. Praxis is the first publisher in Denmark to implement a new AI language model, where they can easily navigate and search the learning materials with the help of a chatbot in the digital textbooks. The chatbot can also ensure that students' use of artificial intelligence is limited to the core material they are going to learn.
"We believe that language models and artificial intelligence can help give students equal access to learning and to be able to use our materials, regardless of whether they are dyslexic, have reading difficulties or have a mother tongue other than Danish," says Morten Blichfeldt Andersen, publishing director at Praxis.
Praxis also works editorially with AI, e.g. first reading of manuscripts, marketing texts and glossaries for web books. Here, Praxis makes use of Egmont's own internal AI service, EgmontGPT, where data is securely handled.
