TLA: Critical AI Conversation
As we make choices about how, when, and whether to embed AI education and tools into the core of undergraduate curriculum, how can we also consider the labor and thinking needed to be skillful in disciplines, a foundation that is critical for students as they form AI inquiry and parsing through information retrieved through AI? Join colleagues in this end-of-semester AI Critical Conversation to consider a recent MIT study discussed with an article in the Atlantic as we continue to innovate our own pedagogical approaches. All are welcome!
