How do university faculty members perceive generative AI, including ChatGPT? We often hear voices saying, “We are not particularly worried, as it hasn't yet reached the stage where it can be effectively used for class reports.”
However, in the society that university students will enter after graduation, generative AI is already being utilized in many fields. Even if there are some inaccurate aspects, shouldn't students learn the correct ways to interact with it while they're still in university? Furthermore, both the university faculty and staff cannot ignore the constantly evolving generative AI.
To help university faculty and staff learn from practical examples of how generative AI is being used in education and research, we have held five seminars so far. These seminars have attracted nearly 700 participants in total, who actively engaged in discussions and Q&A sessions on various use cases.
This time, we will host a concluding session for this series. We will summarize the previous use cases and the questions raised by participants. This will also be an opportunity to discuss the key issues faculty and staff should consider as generative AI continues to spread rapidly. We look forward to seeing many of you at this final session.
