Hosted by Paul Nunno 鈥�27, a student employee at the AI Hub, the series gives faculty members an opportunity to discuss the uses they have found for AI, where they see its limits or risks and what questions they are still working through.

鈥淢y goals and the AI Hub鈥檚 goals are very similar: to neutrally observe how AI has impacted student and faculty life on campus,鈥� Nunno said.

In 鈥�,鈥� Patch describes using ChatGPT to record ideas for assignments, organize course planning and reflect on what worked in class.

鈥淚t’s absolutely made me more efficient by making me more creative,鈥� Patch said.

Patch emphasizes the importance of preserving students鈥� own engagement with reading and writing. She expressed how AI can be used ethically to help students, saying that students can use AI to break a long reading into smaller sections and build a schedule for finishing it, without having AI do the reading itself and encouraging them to think. Her discussion also addresses how AI-generated text can obscure a writer鈥檚 individual voice and why students and faculty should talk openly about their expectations and boundaries for using the technology.

In 鈥�,鈥� Crider recounts how agentic AI, AI tools that can carry out multistep tasks with some independence, helped him when 麻豆视频 switched learning systems from Moodle to Canvas and all his course software had to be rewritten.

Those courses also had to be updated to account for the ubiquity of AI; many of the coding exercises he once assigned students can now be completed almost instantly by AI. In response, Crider has students work through some problems by hand and examine AI-generated Python code for errors before using AI to develop code themselves. The goal is for students to understand the underlying concepts and learn to judge AI tools and their outputs in their field. Crider also discusses assessing students through what they can demonstrate through activities and experiences. His interview considers how educators can prepare students for changes in the workforce; he advises students to develop proficiency with AI tools and pursue coursework beyond their primary discipline.

Interviews with Jonathan Su, associate professor of engineering; Erin Hone, associate teaching professor of education; and Amanda Sturgill, associate professor of journalism, are upcoming.
