About this Event
Generative AI technology, such as ChatGPT, has emerged as a potential game-changer for humanities education across a range of institutions, including R1 universities, community colleges, high schools, public and private institutions, and rural, suburban, and urban locales. The widespread availability of generative AI technology calls for a reexamination of our current literacy curricula and teaching strategies. What research and critical thinking skills will students need to assess the quality of AI-generated content? How can we teach students to use these tools ethically, in a way that supports rather than undermines their learning? How can we ensure that all students, and not just the most privileged, have access to these technologies and the critical literacies needed to operate them?
Although some might view computer sciences departments and technology industries as the center of the AI debates, we believe that educators and scholars in the Humanities should take a leading role in the AI cultural shift. Thinking critically about generative AI and working creatively with its new technologies will be central to ensuring that our students are prepared for a future of responsible citizenship and rewarding careers.
