Many of you have probably seen the flurry of thinkpieces that came on the heels of the release of Chat GPT, a third-generation GPT chatbot developed by Open AI. Chat GPT has been fed the largest corpus of any chatbot to date, and as a result is faster and more convincing than previous generations. Its release creates greater urgency around some of the existential, philosophical, and ethical questions surrounding AI; it also accelerates the need for pragmatic strategies in the educational sphere. This workshop will provide an overview of Chat GPT’s capabilities and a collection of suggested approaches, as well as an opportunity to collaboratively brainstorm likely effects in our respective disciplines and assignment-specific strategies to address those effects.
