Dr. Bill Hart Davidson: When Robots Learn to Write What Happens to Learning?
About this Event
5030 Brunson Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33146
#PetalProgramCan we live, together, with robots who write? In this talk, Bill Hart-Davidson, Professor and Senior Researcher in the Writing in Digital Environments Research Center and Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Education at Michigan State University, will address those who make our living by reading, writing, and researching and teaching others to read, write and research well, ethically, with grace and creativity, with purpose and with keen attention to who we influence and how.
This talk will focus on recent accelerations in the drive to automate the writing process—particularly in digital networks and the implications of those changes for teaching and learning. Machine learning and large language models have brought us to an inflection point. We must now work to understand these new technologies and our work as writers and teachers of writing differently. Drawing on examples from his own scholarship in the areas of education, health care, statecraft, and warfare, Dr. Hart-Davidson will suggest some practical and ethical guidelines for the ways we might live and work, together, with robots that write.
This event is in collaboration with the Writing Studies department and Platform for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (PETAL). Light refreshments will be provided.
