CETI Lab at PSU. FMH 218.
Led by Ameeta Agarwal, Richard Coffey, Douglas Hanes, Martin Smith, Matthew Sottile, Peter Vickery
Part conversation with experts, part unconference, and part hands-on experimentation, we hope you come away with a fluency, confidence, and understanding to engage further (critically and creatively) with this rapidly evolving and increasingly prevalent technology, and find a community to continue this dialogue.
- Learn more about the current state and future of the thing called “AI” at the moment.
- What it is and isn’t, what’s real and what’s hype; what can it do and what are its limitations;
- What are applications and implications. What are potential avenues where it can do amazing things?
- What does it mean for the future of learning, work, and innovation?
- And should we worry?
This introductory convening — a collaborative conversation and experiential learning — will lead to more advanced skill-building and topically-focussed workshops, hackathon, and an unconference and symposium later in the fall and winter.
Who is it For: Anybody who may encounter AI (rom beginners to experts) in
- their work (professionals, policymakers, technologists, business and management, creatives, healthcare, marketing, writers)
- research (environment, health, science, products.…),
- learning (students and educators).
Materials: Bring a laptop and note-taking devices.
Prerequisites: All are welcome.
We will have a curated "reading" list (of relevant articles, books, tutorials, videos, talks) for you to take away.
A Plan for the Day will be Sent to registered Particpants in August.
