This was a presentation given at the 2024 Nova Southeastern University BEDI Summit
In this
30-minute session, participants will learn
about the benefits, challenges, and risks associated with generative AI in
higher education. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has gained attention
in academic circles since the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022. GAI
has been the topic of discussion in industry magazines, journal articles,
conference presentations, and university task forces. As knowledge and
understanding of the effects of GAI on higher education develop, it is
important to keep a pulse on its dualistic nature.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define key terms: artificial intelligence (AI), generative
AI, and large language models.
- Analyze the benefits, challenges, and risks of using
generative AI in higher education.
- Explain the FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency,
and Ethics) framework and recognize key thought leaders for exploring
generative AI from a BEDI (Belonging, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion)
perspective.
- Outline strategies for advancing knowledge and
implementation of generative AI initiatives aligned with BEDI principles.
