We see – or hear about – AI in many types of human and computer interactions, including website chatbots or tools like ChatGPT that can generate human language, recognize images, analyze data, and predict text. As these tools improve and become more accessible, colleges and universities, including the University of Arizona, are examining what the future of AI looks like in academia.
This town hall is the second in the fall AI at Arizona event series, aimed at sparking discussion and sharing ideas around AI at the University to broaden understanding, responsible use and access to these technologies.
The Institute for Computation and Data-Enabled Insight is convening the series in partnership with the Office of the Provost and Research, Innovation and Impact, and the University of Arizona Debate Series in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Light refreshments will be available until 5:30, giving time to mix and mingle after the event.
If you have questions about access or request any disability-related accommodation in this town hall, such as ASL interpreting, wheelchair access, electronic text, etc., please contact Stephanie Doster at scdoster@arizona.edu. Captioning will be provided.
