S6E1: AI, Ethics, and Learning: A Candid Conversation, Part 2
Episode description
In the second part of the podcast episode, Mathieu discusses the current AI-driven initiatives at his institution. The focus is primarily on raising awareness among faculty members about AI's potential. Faculty members are exploring small-scale projects like voice cloning and AI text-to-speech tools to enhance productivity in creating lecture videos. Additionally, there are discussions about developing AI agents to provide students with preliminary feedback on their work, ensuring they meet assignment guidelines before submission. The institution is also conducting training sessions and workshops to educate faculty on the impact of AI, both in terms of academic integrity and practical classroom applications. Larger AI projects funded by university grants are in the pipeline, although the institution is still in the early stages of integrating these technologies comprehensively. The overall goal is to build a supportive environment where faculty can experiment with AI tools and understand their implications for teaching and learning.
