AI in Academia: Balancing Efficiency, Learning, and Ethics Artwork

Women Talkin' 'Bout AI

We're Jessica and Kimberly – two non-computer scientists who stumbled into the world of generative AI right alongside everyone else when ChatGPT 3 was released. Since then, we've pivoted our careers to explore the capabilities and limitations of generative AI in teaching, learning, and research. But we're more than just academics –we're also mothers, friends, and colleagues, so of course our conversations sometimes wander into the broader landscape of life.
