AI in the classroom: Can Media literacy help us see through the AI hype   Michelle Ciccone
Channel: Media Education Lab Webinars

The second workshop in this series will look at the recent release of GPT-4 and its predecessor ChatGPT in November 2022 that set off heated debate and a range of impassioned responses. ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies are at times described as game-changing productivity tools, creepy semi-sentient bots, a wake-up call for seemingly behind-the-times educators, or harbingers of the further destruction of creative (and other) industries. And that's not even an exhaustive list of all of the predictions and projections made on the back of ChatGPT's release! In this webinar, we will slow down to help each other identify the logics and assumptions baked into these generative AI tools, and examine the tech ecosystem from which these tools emerge. We will consider: How might we use the core principles of media literacy to help us critically question generative AI technologies—not just the content that they produce, but the tools themselves?
