How students are using (or misusing) generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot has become a pressing issue for instructors. However, many professors aren’t sure of the capabilities, limitations, and opportunities that generative AI presents. This workshop will help instructors develop an understanding of generative AI and how it might impact their classes (in both positive and negative ways). We will begin with an introduction and overview of generative AI, before transitioning to an open discussion about how it impacts our specific disciplines. We will also be demonstrating some of the general principles of generative AI using UC’s supported platform, Microsoft’s Copilot.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Describe the capabilities and limitations of generative AI
- Discuss the impact generative AI might have in their courses
