Generative AI Teach-Out

Hello and welcome to the Generative AI Teach-Out! We're so excited to have you here for this free and open online learning event that explores the incredible world of artificial intelligence (AI).

Our Teach-Out is designed to bring people from all over the world together to discuss and learn about the ethical use of AI. Throughout the modules, we'll introduce you to the basics of artificial intelligence and explore how AI can be used in different fields and industries.

We'll also dive into the ethical implications of AI and discuss how we can all use AI in a responsible and effective way. We want you to walk away from this Teach-Out with a better understanding of artificial intelligence, its potential uses, and the important considerations to keep in mind when using AI.

Most importantly, we want to create a space where you can learn, engage, and connect with people from all walks of life who share a curiosity and interest in AI. We believe that the diversity of our global audience will provide unique and valuable perspectives and insights that will make this a truly enriching learning experience.

As we explore the world of AI together, we'll end with a call to action that encourages you to reflect on how you can ethically and effectively use AI tools and assistants in your own lives and work.

In this first segment, we explore what generative artificial intelligence (AI) is and how it works broadly. We first hear from Kentaro Toyama, Professor of Information at the University of Michigan, who provides an informative overview of AI and ChatGPT and discusses the different areas where ChatGPT can be utilized in society.

So, let's get started on this learning journey together! We can't wait to see the ideas and insights that will emerge from our discussions. Thank you for joining us!
