Generative AI Co-teachers and Co-students: A New Relationship

In this talk, Shelly Palmer, Newhouse’s Advanced Media Professor in Residence, will examine the transformative impact of generative AI in education for both teachers and students. The seminar will highlight innovative strategies for educators (such as prompt crafting and role-playing exercises) to help maximize student engagement. He will also explore how to balance students’ desire to “game the system” while acknowledging that mastery of generative AI systems is now an essential life skill. Through live demonstrations and case studies, this seminar will equip you with a nuanced understanding of how to effectively integrate AI into educational settings and prepare you for the ethical and practical challenges that arise.
