Details
Part 1: Thursday, August 22, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm (PST)
Part 2: Friday, August 23, 2024 from 10:00 – 11:30 am (PST)
This two-day microseminar on generative AI aims to introduce undergraduates to generative AI's fundamentals, applications, and ethical dimensions.
Day 1 introduces the basics of generative AI, including how it works, and explores its (potentially) positive impacts across industries such as healthcare, education, entertainment, and automation. Students will participate in interactive sessions and group discussions on ethical considerations, such as bias, privacy, and misuse.
Day 2 focuses on the pitfalls and ethical development of generative AI. Students will learn about data privacy issues, algorithmic bias, and real-world AI failures. Discussions will cover regulatory and ethical frameworks to mitigate AI risks, and students will brainstorm and design their own ethical AI projects. The seminar ends with tips on leveraging AI responsibly in academic and professional settings, followed by the introduction of a new competition through the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy in collaboration with the USC Center for Generative AI and Society.
This seminar is ideal for undergraduates interested in generative AI and its applications. No coding experience is necessary.
Lead By: Professor Stephen Aguilar
Dr. Stephen J. AguiIar is an Associate Professor of Education in the Educational Psychology concentration at the USC Rossier School of Education. His research focuses on investigating how educational technologies—both emerging and established—influence teaching, learning, and motivation. Dr. Aguilar studies the impact of generative AI in educational settings, the digital equity gap, and learning analytics applications. Currently, he is co-leading USC’s new Center for Generative AI and Society’s efforts to understand when and how generative AI is used by students and instructors in post-secondary settings.
