Join us for two back-to-back events showcasing assignments and courses developed through the AI Curriculum Corps and a Keynote Address from José Bowen.
- AICC Showcase
-
This past summer, over 80 faculty members participated in the AI Curriculum Corps, a program that equips faculty with resources and support to redesign or create new modules, assignments, and courses that thoughtfully integrate or critically examine AI. Faculty led the design process supported by expert curriculum developers from the Center for Teaching and Learning, software developers from the Digital Intelligence & Innovation (DI2) Accelerator, technologists from Information Technology, and information scientists from the WashU Libraries. At this showcase, you’ll learn about some of the AICC projects across schools. Sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Digital Intelligence and Innovation (DI2) Accelerator.
- José Bowen Keynote
-
WashU welcomes José Bowen, a leading AI Innovator, scholar, and consultant. AI is already changing human work, perspectives, thinking, creativity and the limits of customization. It might also be the fastest change to writing and the greatest challenge to critical thinking in human history. AI is changing average, creativity and labor: faculty and students will now always be an AI boss. Using AI well requires two staples of higher education: asking better questions and evaluating answers. Prompting is writing. And yet AI is also reducing the intellectual friction that is essential for learning. How do we protect critical thinking and human agency while raising standards in an age where every recent graduate will be managing AI?
