How Will We Respond to the A.I. Revolution?

The A.I. Revolution is here.

For some, it’s exciting. For others, it feels terrifying. Still others feel baffled and confused by it. Many of us feel a mix of all three emotions. But one thing is clear. It’s here and it’s not going away. In this session, we explore how we might adapt and change as we navigate the new terrain of an AI world. We will explore how it might transform teaching, scholarship, and service as we navigate a blended approach focused on ethics and wisdom.
