A few months ago, a seemingly revolutionary technological milestone occurred when ChatGPT was released online. ChatGPT and other instances of what are called "generative artificial intelligence" (or generative Al) are programs that actually generate text, images, audio or other content for users. Ask ChatGPT to provide a premise for a sitcom, a poem in the style of Emily Dickinson, or an explanation of the basics of curling, and lines of text start materializing on the screen, seeming eerily like those that an expert human would write (although not always correct!). There has been much debate about how these programs may pose a threat or an opportunity for our education system. Our session will present the research-informed ideas of several Pitt experts on the broader topics of how this technology may affect the way we think, write and speak, and the associated impacts on society. We hope that you can join us!
