Generative AI
What does the use of Gen-AI mean for us in learning and teaching?
The sudden sophistication of AI tools and their utility has changed the way we work, learn, and play. Such tools can produce increasingly elaborate writing, or images and video from a simple prompt. Although these outputs are not exempt from bias, distortion or fabrication, their potential is undeniable. Industries are scrambling to hire skilled graduates who can leverage AI to gain efficiency and a competitive advantage.
As educators, let’s take the opportunity to explore this technology, harness its potential for teaching and learning, and guide our students on its applications, limitations, and ethical use.
