Abstract
Generative AI burst onto the world stage last fall with OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT-3. Microsoft now uses it for its search engine Bing. Other companies have been racing to launch their own version: Google’s Bard, Baidu’s Wenxin Yiyan, among others. Such technology has the potential to transform many sectors of society, including education. This talk “ChatGPT in Higher Education” will provide an overview of generative AI’s capabilities, as well as academic policies and pedagogical strategies to address its use. This technology can be used in a range of academic disciplines. In this talk, Dr. Manuel Charlemagne will focus on courses with mathematics and coding, while Dr. Peter Weise will focus on courses that depend on writing and qualitative analysis. An open discussion will follow.
This Joint Event will be held by JI CLT and SJTU CTLD.
