NCFDD Webinar: AI in Academia: Teaching Challenges and Opportunities

January 23, 2024
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
America/New_York
Online Event

At the end of November in 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a text-generating AI with never-before-seen capabilities of producing almost any type of text with the click of a button. Students immediately realized the potential of using it for their assignments, easily generating essays and code, while avoiding being caught by existing plagiarism detection software. Since then, an arms race has developed between AI users and those who try to detect and discourage its use.

In this webinar, the presenter explains why we owe it to our students to adjust our teaching practices in light of AI technology, and shares some practical suggestions for how to do so. 

Presenter:

Julia Staffel is an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her research area is epistemology, especially philosophy of probability and theories of reasoning and rationality.
