Tired of staring at screens all day and feeling like the bots are winning?<\/p>\n
Bring your laptop and join the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Presidential AI Task Force this fall for a bi-weekly, one-hour, F2F, \u201cAI Playground\u201d \u2013 where the hallowed traditions of the ivory tower meet the wild west of large language models. These won\u2019t be your typical sessions where an \u201cexpert\u201d talks at you while you pretend to take notes.\u00a0 Instead, this will be a very loosely supervised \u201cplayground\u201d to mess around, ask questions, experiment, and play with AI and chatbots in real time.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re trying to figure out ways to make students do their own work beyond bluebooks and threatening death and dismemberment for using AI, or you\u2019d like to create a custom Virgil chatbot to guide them through the perils of your syllabus or you just want to freshen up your dad jokes about standard deviation, we\u2019ve got you covered. Our friendly neighborhood facilitators will be on hand to answer questions, offer suggestions, and dust you off when you get thrown off the AI merry-go-round\u2026again.<\/p>\n
Unlike the nightmare playground scene in Terminator 2 where AI goes rogue and attempts to destroy all humanity in a nuclear holocaust, at Marshall\u2019s AI Playground you can expect some laughter, help and brainstorming from facilitators and your peers, and the occasional \u201cAha!\u201d moment (that doesn\u2019t involve being incinerated).<\/p>\n
