Tailored for beginners, this track demystifies AI, offering foundational knowledge and interactive sessions to get you started on your AI journey in academia.
"AI is going to change EVERYTHING!" Maybe... But how? Let's look at things in light of other major technological advances over the past century or so, and see if that might give us some clues as to where things might be headed. Because knowing where things are headed can give us some clues as to how to position ourselves - and our institutions - so that we're ready for whatever the future brings. This presentation in part will be an update of a talk I gave at the National Association of Broadcasters in 2000 - on the coming merger of computers and television.

Special emphasis will be placed on the ethical considerations of GenAI tools, strategies to enhance research and learning outcomes, and maintaining academic integrity.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education, but it's important to remember that "with great power comes great responsibility" (as Spider-Man's Uncle Ben famously said). In this interactive presentation, we'll delve into the ethical dimensions of AI adoption in academia. From personalized learning to data privacy, we'll explore how AI impacts students, educators, and institutions. Our discussion will focus on the broader societal implications and chart a course toward responsible AI integration.
In Spring 2024 fifteen TCC students joined a paid workgroup to develop a generative AI student-use policy. The workgroup was run much like a course where the students read, participated in discussion forums, and learned from guest lecturers and participated in a faculty/student roundtable to gain valuable context as they began the work to develop the policy. This presentation looks at the process in detail, the outcomes, and best practices and lessons learned.
This presentation will seek to examine the examine the role of generative AI tools and their potential impact in higher education through the lens of several mythologies and figures in folklore, to contextualise some of the commentary and fears which have been expressed and to examine what these reactions can tell us about the education systems and structures in which we operate.
Emerging "AI" has insinuated itself into every corner of an economic apparatus already steeply tilted toward the commodification of creative gifts (in both senses of the word), intensifying volatile, often incoherent, quarrels about art, creativity and---shudder---intellectual property. In this active discussion, participants will be asked to consider some of the contradictions in these ongoing debates and share ideas about what can and should be done to support a creative economy with, within, and perhaps in opposition to "AI."
This presentation will look at ethical issues that AI presents to education and how to mitigate them using the very tools that have caused them. It examines how we think about the purpose of education and how we have managed technological change in the past hold the keys for solving the ethical issues around AI and education technology today. We will look at AI not as just a content generator but as a tool to aid in problem-solving, critical thinking and active learning through prompt engineering.
This presentation participants will discover how AI, far from being a threat, is a powerful tool that enhances human capabilities.
