Academia & AI: a student-faculty dialogue
Event box
Join our student-moderated faculty panel for an interactive discussion about generative artificial intelligence at the University of Pittsburgh, with questions provided by YOU! We welcome input from all in the Pitt community, especially Pitt students.
Are you interested in what it means for genAI to be a part of Pitt research and scholarship? Do you wonder how we should approach how we teach and learn in light of these increasingly advanced tools?
Let's talk about where we are, where we're going, and where we'd like to go re: genAI at Pitt.
