Message From the Associate Dean for Research

While many of us have been using artificial intelligence (AI) in our research for decades, access to large language learning models like Chat-GPT marks a watershed moment in public awareness of the capability of artificial intelligence (AI). Like all other sectors of society, the academy will need to adapt to take advantage of its strengths, make informed decisions about how to protect against its potential harms, and educate our students on how to navigate a world in which AI is ubiquitous.


From the classroom to the field, how is AI changing our educational landscape? And how should we respond? To help answer these questions, the College of Arts & Sciences will hold a series of events in AI-April that will be the start of a series of activities across A&S, SOE, and University Libraries under the banner AI@UNM, all of which will posted at AIResources.unm.edu.


I hope that you all will take the time to join one or more of these events to contribute to the conversation: 

 

 

Teaching with AI: Keynote & Workshop 

Speaker: Jose Bowen

April 10 I 12 - 1 PM 

SUB Ballrooms B&C

 

AI @ A&S

Panel of A&S researchers will share how they are using AI in their work

AI, Public Discourse, and Elections

Panel of UNM experts will share how AI is shaping public discourse around elections

April 24 I 3 - 4:30 PM

You may have noticed that the Awards section in the Research Report has not appeared recently. It will be back soon to highlight the newest research taking place in the college. Until then, thanks and congratulations to those with recent awards!  

 

I hope that you all have an enjoyable and relaxing spring break. 

 

Until next month, 

Christopher D. Lippitt, Ph.D., CMS-RS
