Faculty Academy Project 2024 - 2025: Generative AI |
Last year, eight Duke faculty were selected as the inaugural cohort of the Duke Faculty Academy. The interdisciplinary group grappled with the role for faculty in the generative AI initiatives on campus and covered a wide range of perspectives. Discussions ranged from deep concern over the possible replacement of valued human behaviors to enthusiastic engagement with AI literacy and curricular use. The group recorded “Entry Point” videos with the hope all Duke faculty will find an entry point that resonates with their personal thoughts on the current AI discourse. Please watch the short excerpt above, and visit the Duke Faculty Academy webpage to watch discussions between our colleagues on topics including:
|
- How should faculty approach AI literacy?
- What does it mean to be human (e.g., uniqueness, creativity) in the age of AI?
- What is acceptable use of Generative AI in the classroom, and should faculty put boundaries on student use?
- How do we navigate the bias that is inherent in Generative AI?
-
Why are we considering using Generative AI more and not less?
