An Hour with ASK: What uses of GenAI are considered dishonest and inappropriate?
This is lecture three in a series of three lectures on Generative AI. The lectures are designed as a unit, but can be enjoyed in isolation as well. In other words, you do not have to attend them all, but you will get more out of them if you do.
Facilitated by Elizabeth Olsson (ASK). The lecture is followed by fika.
The final lecture focuses on how and why you may get into trouble when you use GenAI in your studies. During the lecture, you will be introduced to:
- The Spectrum of Plagiarism and Cheating with GenAI
- The consequences of plagiarism and cheating at GU
- The limitations and trade-offs of GenAI technologies
About the lecture series:
The wide release of generative AI (GenAI) tools has left university students in a challenging position. On the one hand, there are now accessible tools that can generate texts, images, and code at the click of a mouse. On the other hand, it is difficult to know if these tools are allowed in university courses and, if so, how they can be used honestly and appropriately. This three-part lecture series is designed to explore the impact of GenAI on university studies, offering insights into the University of Gothenburg’s position, honest and appropriate uses, and uses that may get students into trouble. All lectures will include information, activities, and time to ask questions.
