On Wednesday, November 5th, from 4-5pm, join AI Cross-Campus Communities of Practice, an initiative funded by SUNY IITG, for Navigating Generative AI’s Ethical Challenges in Higher Education, a talk by our keynote speaker, Marc Watkins. AI developments pose new ethical challenges with each new tool released. We now have agentic AI, multimodal tools, deep research systems, and reasoning models that perform a range of complex tasks. It can be challenging to keep track of generative AI’s capabilities from one week to the next. This session will help faculty navigate the ethical landscape with both curiosity and guarded skepticism and offer practical tips for helping students understand how AI impacts learning.
Marc Watkins is Assistant Director of Academic Innovation, Director of the Mississippi AI Institute, and Lecturer of Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Mississippi. He trains faculty in AI literacy.
All SUNY faculty and staff are welcome to attend this talk. Register on Teams! A recording will be sent out to all registrants after the event.
