Description
This session aims to get you thinking about how to use generative AI at university and the ethical considerations.
We will look at one approach to using generative Al tools, which could be very useful in your studies. Although this approach can be adopted with any generative AI tool, we focus on some of the freely accessible ones during this session: ChatGPT 3.5, Copilot, Claude and Gemini.
To save time during the session, if you are attending, please engage with the Terms and Conditions of these tools before signing up to one or two of them if happy to do so. If you prefer not to sign up to these tools, you can still attend the session.
Learning outcomes
By the end of this session, you will feel more confident about:
- Using the Problem, AI, Interaction, Reflection (PAIR) model to evaluate AI use in your studies.
- Exploring free, accessible AI tools and assessing their potential benefits and limitations in academic work.
- Considering the ethical implications of AI integration in learning.
