Since November, 2022, when Artificial Intelligence chatbots were released for free, public use, they have garnered nearly constant attention in the news and among education institutions. At National University, students, staff, and faculty alike are still learning about these technologies and how they will impact our ways of working and learning.
It is clear that AI tools will have a significant impact on our society and educational systems, including upon those of us at National University. Therefore, it is vital that we all approach these tools with curiosity, a critical disposition, and with an understanding of ethical responsibilities.
It is important to understand that ChatGPT is a large language model that produces words the system predicts will make the most sense to users. ChatGPT is not a search engine, and therefore, ChatGPT gives us words, not facts. ChatGPT can give users incorrect information and it can be missing important information from ongoing discussions and debates. It is critical that users understand how these tools work and these tools' limitations.
Check out the recorded presentation below from the National University Library and Graduate Studies Support Center to learn more about how you can utilize AI tools such as ChatGPT in your classroom and in your own work.
AI text generators like ChatGPT have emerged as influential tools, altering the way we work, write, and learn. If you want to learn more about partnering with these programs to support your research, then you can attend a webinar with Dr. Brian Arnold and Dan Johnston. They will showcase the available tools, teach how to use them effectively and responsibly, and field questions about the latest developments in generative AI.
