Generative AI

GenAI is a type of artificial intelligence which can generate new outputs, such as text, images, video, audio, and code, based on a user prompt.

As disruptive as GenAI tools like chatGPT feel at the moment, it can help to consider them in the long line of technological advancement like Wikipedia, Google Translate, and the calculator. While each of these technologies were initially disruptive to how we approached teaching in our courses, eventually we figured out how to adapt our courses to emphasize student learning and to prepare our students to succeed in a world in which these technologies exist.
