Join Helen and Dave Edwards, founders of Sonder Studio and hosts of Artificiality, for a thought-provoking and inspirational keynote address. Amidst recent changes in our academic landscape, they offer the optimistic perspective tempered with the importance of human-centered AI and an understanding of the potential harms. In this session, the Edwards will unpack the concept of Generative AI, likening its potential impact to the advent of the internet. They will discuss the importance of embracing this change and provide insight on how to integrate AI into academia. In the concluding segment, the Edwards will inspire the audience about the future of higher education and the potential for it to be enriched with Generative AI.

This workshop will delve deeper into the potential of Generative AI in higher education, offering real-life examples of its application in teaching, learning, and research. Attendees will be asked to contribute their hopes as well as their concerns for the future, then explore how AI could pave the way for new academic programs and fields of study, turning current challenges into opportunities.

This workshop offers a hands-on learning session for people who want to understand how to use generative AI and large language models in every day life. In this session, the Edwards show how you can use large language models and other generative AI in practical terms, developing your “machine intuition” and other skills for complementing human intelligence with the intelligence of machines.
