Artificial intelligence is becoming a powerful and ubiquitous tool in our daily lives. How can we empower students and members of society to navigate its complexities as informed and engaged citizens? How do we teach individuals to critically evaluate information generated by AI, harness its potential responsibly, and uphold essential skills like critical thinking and effective communication? In “Preparing informed citizens in an AI-powered world,” a UW Impact webinar co-hosted with the UW Center for an Informed Public, experts will share their insights into how AI is reshaping education, research and civic engagement.
Information School second-year doctoral student Shahan Ali Memon (pictured at left), Department of Communication professor Katy E. Pearce (pictured at right) and Information School professor Jevin West (center) will share their insights.
We’ll explore strategies for equipping students and society at large to thoughtfully integrate AI into decision-making, spot manipulated and misleading information and remain active citizens in an increasingly AI-driven world. Join us to discuss the educational opportunities and societal responsibilities that come with this transformative technology.
Tuesday, April 22 | 5-6 p.m. PDT | Webinar via Zoom
