TECH HUB EVENTS
To Use ChatGPT or Not to Use? That is the question.
The irony is not lost on Dr. Kelle DeBoth Foust, a TECH Hub co-director, that she uses ChatGPT to make test questions harder so students can't use ChatGPT to answer them. On Tuesday, October 24, at a discussion hosted by the TECH Hub, nearly 20 faculty and students shared how they are—or aren't—using ChatGPT, the generative AI application launched nearly a year ago by OpenAI.
PhD student Cameron LaMack, who facilitated the discussion, provided a thorough overview of AI technology and its various forms. He noted that AI is both a catch phrase and a catch-all for several different applications that can mimic human intelligence, and includes everything from technology that can replicate human touch to the more ubiquitous application of ChatGPT, which enables users to submit questions or prompts and receive a response. The purpose of the discussion was to better understand how faculty are thinking about and using AI, how it's influencing their work and how it's challenging what they thought they knew.
The rich conversation generated several ideas for additional TECH Hub programs in the spring. A full recap of the sessions will be included in next month's newsletter, after the second session on November 16.
There's still time to register for that session, which will also take place in Room 103 of Parker Hannifin Hall and include lunch. Come to learn and share your questions and ideas.
