AI Literacy at Lunchtime: Considerations for the Future Online Workshop- Erin Burns, Josh Salmans Online
Online only- entirely web based live interaction, no face to face
Identify potential harms of the technology can affect your education, your work, and your communities Recognize how AI censorship can be a particular problem for searching for information Understand how anthropomorphizing AI can cause particular mental harms
As we’ve seen in the past 3 workshops, Generative AI is shaping our information landscapes whether we like it or not. In order to have a broad understanding of the AI landscape and the hype surrounding it, we will use this session to discuss recent research into cognitive offloading, how water and land resources are being gobbled up by these tech firms, and what community activism looks like. We may also discuss how the overuse of a chatbot for relationships can cause mental health crises.
