AI at Arizona
Town Hall Series
Join the Conversation!
Artificial intelligence. It’s that website chatbot. ChatGPT. Alexa or Siri. Those automated recommendations for your online shopping cart.
These tools are rapidly improving, evolving, and becoming more accessible. They have spilled over into academia, sparking conversations about the potential benefits, opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications of AI. What does that mean for you—a University of Arizona student, staff, researcher or educator in the classroom, office, and lab?
Join the Campus Community in a series of interactive conversations around what artificial intelligence means for you— a University of Arizona student, staff member, researcher, or educator— in the classroom, office, and lab. Join the discussions and share your ideas and experiences related to AI.
The Institute for Computation and Data-Enabled Insight is convening the series in partnership with the Office of the Provost and Research, Innovation and Impact.
