AI Student Workshop • Session 1


 
Practical & Responsible Use of AI

This inaugural GenAI student workshop series is a collaborative project presented by the Instructional Resource Center, Writing and Communication Center, and Archer Library.

In this series of workshops, students will learn about the benefits and pitfalls of employing generative AI, or  GenAI. While GenAI can be a great tool, it is critical to have a foundational understanding of the topic to be discussed in order ensure the information provided by the generators is indeed accurate and pertinent to your project.

Finally, this workshop will further your understanding of Ashland University’s official policy on the use of AI and will offer insights from a professor that both employs AI and lectures about the practical and appropriate employment of AI on assignments and projects.
