Philosophy is going to be really important with #AI. Over next few years as #generativeAI develops, we'll see lots of considerations around use, effects, outcomes of AI. That’s something to consider when adopting AI on campus and considering possible outcomes. #EDU23

Re: the future – when #generativeAI is coupled with VR, with quantum computing...there are so many great possibilities with this, but a lot of challenges and dangers. The next 3-5 years are going to be very exciting. #EDU23

#AI is the new world, but it’s the same world--we just have to help our students and our colleagues all be agents of good. This technology is transformative, it can be dangerous, but we’re all here on the side of good. #EDU23
