Freedom From the Machine: The Uses and Abuses of AI

12 pm PDT/ 2 pm CDT/ 3pm EDT

Join us. The increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the form of “Large Language Models” such as Chat-GPT, or generative image models such as Dali opens up the possibility of increased productivity as well as individual expression. Much like other tools, AI also has the potential to be used either carelessly or with malicious intent. To understand both the benefits and the pitfalls, it is important to understand how AI is implemented, what tasks it can do well, what it can’t do well, and how we can guard against malicious use.

Join us for this session that will introduce some of the fundamentals of AI, provide some hands-on experience with using these tools, and open to a discussion about how they may shape our lives in the future. Open to all.  No AI experience necessary. 

Discussion Leads: Loretta Cheeks and  Nick Gross
