About
Owen Man is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and computing education, with a focus on how large multimodal models (LMMs) and large language models (LLMs) are transforming the way students learn to code. His work investigates the capabilities and limitations of AI systems like ChatGPT in educational contexts, particularly their ability to solve visually diverse programming problems—such as Parsons problems—and generate or explain code at levels comparable to or exceeding novice programmers. In his highly cited 2024 paper, "More Robots are Coming," Man demonstrated that LMMs can successfully tackle a wide range of visual and textual coding tasks, achieving 27 citations in under a year—a testament to the timeliness and impact of his research. His contributions are helping educators understand how AI can be integrated into classrooms, from automated assessment to personalized tutoring, while also highlighting risks like over-reliance on AI. Man’s work is pivotal for shaping evidence-based policies on AI use in education, making him a key voice in the ongoing dialogue about the future of learning in an AI-driven world.
