The Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Teaching, Research and Service
Event Details
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a scholarly field that strives to create intelligent machines that imitate human behavior and thinking. AI tools can handle tasks that require human cognition and decision-making skills. As AI advances and permeates various aspects of society, understanding its value and potential risks in academic environments becomes crucial. Universities and other higher education institutions need to ensure students are equipped with the necessary skills and competence to use AI responsibly while ensuring their responsible teaching, research, and service implementation.
In this seminar, we will explore the impact of AI in higher education, specifically focusing on the recent proliferation of AI tools in teaching, learning, and research. Our discussion will focus on Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), large language models trained on extensive datasets that have recently profoundly impacted the higher education sector.
Event access below, no pre-registration is needed.
