More about the workshop:
What is the impact of artificial intelligence on how we learn and create? The number of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has grown significantly over the past few years. Some of the most popular tools are capable of creating seemingly original content, like images or text. We will consider the ethical dilemmas of using AI to create content and identify the appropriate use of these tools in a university setting.
When? May 30th, 18:30.
Where? America House Kyiv (Mykoly Pymonenka 6).
📌 The deadline to register is Friday, May 30th at 12 PM Kyiv time.
