Teaching "AI, Race, and the Future of Humanity"
Date: Thursday, January 22,
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Speaker: Sylvester Johnson, Professor and Chair of Black Studies
How is artificial intelligence (AI) shaping our social systems and our understanding of race? How will it continue to influence our relationships with technology and each other? In the first-year seminar, “AI, Race, and the Future of Humanity”, students explore the impact of AI on human society while gaining practical, hands-on experience testing AI tools for research, data analysis, and scholarly communication. Join us for a conversation with Professor of Black Studies Sylvester Johnson while he reflects on the challenges and successes of treating AI as both an object of critical study and a set of tools for empowered, ethical action.
