ChatGPT: Threat or Menace?

Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT is causing a stir in schools, colleges, and universities. Some banned it, seeing it as a threat to academic integrity and an "engine" for academic misconduct. Others embraced it as a project and research partner, writing assistant and fast source for materials, such as references, critical ideas related to a specific topic or a code generator for software.

Colleagues around the world are asking:

• What is the opportunity for ChatGPT and other similar developments in artificial intelligence and deep learning?
• What are the threats and challenges to the nature of teaching, learning and assessment and academic work?
• What does ChatGPT do well and what does it not do well, and how can we ensure users critically assess the materials, code and other “products” from ChatGPT?

These topics inform this webinar, offered by Dr. Steven Mintz, a history professor who integrated ChatGPT into his teaching at the University of Texas.
