Should AI tools, such as ChatGPT, be welcomed as part of the College learning experience or are more traditional experiences preferable for learning outcomes? How should we think about traditional assignments such as essays when we have tools available that appear to solve these questions in seconds? What role could these tools have in the classroom, and do we have to question established learning paradigms or simply apply them to AI in new ways? And finally, looking beyond university, what implications does experience with AI have for graduates as they enter the workforce? Join us for a discussion on these and related topics with a panel of faculty, students and administration.

Panelists

• Jay Ellison, Dean of Students in the College
• Jonathan Liu, PhD'26
• Naina Purushothaman, AB’26
