John Spencer speaks on AI in education on Oct. 8
The AI revolution is here. For some, it’s exciting. For others, it’s terrifying. Still others are baffled and confused by it. Many of us feel a mix of all of these. But one thing is clear: It’s here and it’s not going away.
In this session, we explore how we might adapt and change as we navigate the new terrain of an AI world. Join us on Wednesday, Oct. 8, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Stevens 208, as we will explore how At might transform teaching, scholarship and service, and navigate a blended approach focused on ethics and wisdom.
