SUMMARY:GenAI - Ethical and Responsible Use
DESCRIPTION:GenAI – Ethical and Responsible Use \nDo you ever wonder how generative AI tools are developed or trained? Have you considered the hidden costs of asking AI to write a letter or create a funny image? What does AI do with the information we provide it? Can we use AI to create assessments but tell students not to use it in their responses? In this session  we’ll explore these and more topics relating to ethical and responsible use of generative AI tools. Everyone is welcome.
