What can our graduates do that a chatbot can’t? Gen AI keynote from Professor Kris Ryan
There are endless predictions about the impact of new AI advances on society, including education. Across UQ, academics, staff, and students are navigating the uncertainties of new AI (generative AI or genAI) in teaching, learning, and assessment. Elaborating on the possibilities and risks of AI in higher education, Prof Kris Ryan, UQ’s DVCA, will give a keynote presentation with question and answer time. This will be followed by the launch of ITaLI’s Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) workshop series.
This event is open to UQ students and staff. It is hosted by the Teaching Focused Network, chaired in 2024 by A/Prof Rachel Fitzgerald.
