You enter a university classroom on the first day of class. After everybody gets settled in, you hear a voice saying, “Welcome, my name is GPT, and I’m your professor.” By the rest of the semester, you will receive the most personalized learning experience that meets your learning needs. Or will it be a huge celebration of misinformation?

New media technologies have transformed the way we learn. From the printing press enabled sharing of writings on a massive scale, to the internet that allowed instant learning across the globe, we’ve adapted how we consume knowledge based on technological advancements. Now, with the recent development of conversational AI, we are on the verge of a new shift in our educational experiences.

I invite you to come to this open discussion to think collaboratively about this subject. We will briefly cover how technology has shaped education, think about what it would mean for human interaction, and discuss some of the implications of such an application of this technology.

Looking forward to learning with you.
