Mini TED Talks

About the Assignment

Mini-Ted Talks will all have this question: Give a 5 minute talk to UR administrators and faculty.  Our goals are to plan a talk where you speak briefly and extemporaneously with minimal technological help.

Your topic

• • How we can best integrate AI or refuse it, given the arguments made by Alexander and Chen? 

  • You may bring  in other supporting arguments made by others we’ve read or viewed this semester.

  • You will be limited to 5 minutes and 1 title slide + 5 slides, with one image/slide, maximum. No video please. I want you to be the stars.
