Artificial intelligence is expanding today at such a rapid pace that few educators are keeping up with the changes – changes that impact perception, social intelligence, problem solving and deep learning. From chatbots to voice assistants, the AI revolution is shaping the way humans navigate daily life.
Oakland University’s Honors College will explore ways that honors education is responding to the AI revolution during a virtual event from noon-1 p.m. on Thursday, April 6. Those interested in attending can register here by April 5.
The event will feature a discussion of AI and machine learning topics, including the recent expansion of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that uses deep learning techniques to generate incredibly human-like responses to questions on an array of subjects. Dr. Nabeel Gillani, from Northeastern University, who is also a core faculty member at the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks, and a Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Democracy and Technology, will join in the discussion.
“Developments in AI are incredibly exciting,” said Dr Graeme Harper, dean of OU’s Honors College. “There are concerns, and some people fear the machines are taking over, but what we really find here is an opportunity to expand and develop human knowledge. We’ll talk about the current challenges, and about those opportunities, on April 6.”
