Abstract:
Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has disrupted education
at every level. These tools can now complete almost any assignment, from math to essays
to computer code to PowerPoint presentations. Entry-level jobs in business, law, finance
and software are at risk of being displaced. How should we respond as educators, parents,
students and community leaders?
Dr. Logan McCarty, Associate Dean of Science Undergraduate Education at Harvard, will share his experience teaching one of the first broad college courses on the impact of Generative AI, along with research into how AI can help (or hinder) teaching and learning.
This is a FREE public lecture open to the community, as well as all faculty, staff, alumni and students at UToledo!
