Anthropomorphizing language can obscure the fact that replacing humans with machines does not lead to equivalent actions or interactions. This session presents a framework for understanding how technology changes the nature of tasks and prescribes behaviors.
UNCG’s Division of Research and Engagement and Innovate UNCG hosted its inaugural AI Innovation Challenge, a campus-wide event that brings together faculty, staff, and students to explore human-centered artificial intelligence.
How one Bryan School department continues to innovate its curriculum in the face of A.I., landing a coveted Google cybersecurity grant in the process.
The implications of artificial intelligence entering public use are still being debated and worked out. UNCG faculty are lending their knowledge to build best practices that boost creativity and education rather than stifling them.
UNCG provided faculty with generative AI implementation grants so that they can explore the potential of AI tools with their students. It has the power to change their classrooms as well as their professions.
Even if you do not consider yourself technologically savvy, you likely encounter AI regularly – scrolling social media, shopping online, or navigating to a new location.
“AI is powerful,” says UNC Greensboro Computer Science Assistant Professor, Yingcheng Sun. “We can use it to save us labor and cost. It’s useful, but by no means perfect.” While an AI mistake in one context may be minor, a mishap in other fields, such as health care, can be detrimental. Sun is working to mitigate some of AI’s errors by leveraging the strengths of both humans and technology, a field known as human-centered AI. “Our goal is to improve AI and avoid repeated mistakes by involving people’s feedback throughout the process,” he says.
