Navigating Ethics and Privacy in the Age of AI
Nov. 18 | 12-1:30 p.m. | Zoom
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the critical ethical and privacy considerations that arise with the use of generative artificial intelligence in education. We will discuss key concerns such as data privacy, consent, bias, and the potential for surveillance. We’ll reflect on ethical dilemmas we may encounter, explore strategies for addressing them, and gain a deeper understanding of the responsibilities that come with using AI technologies. Featuring Bernadette Baker (Curriculum & Instruction), David Shaffer (Educational Psychology), and Annette Zimmermann (Philosophy).
Using Image Generators to Support Learning
Dec. 2 | 12-1:30 p.m. | 3250 College Library
Come see the visual possibilities of generative AI in your teaching. We will explore popular tools like Adobe Firefly and Microsoft Copilot to give you hands-on experience generating images. We’ll discuss how AI visuals can foster students’ creativity and critical thinking, and deepen their understanding of course concepts. We will explore a range of assignments and disciplinary contexts, from marketing and design to nursing public service announcements to theological reflection and STEM concept maps. We will also address critical ethical and legal considerations and discuss responsible use of AI-generated content in educational settings. Featuring Lin Wilson (Art).
