Generative AI Challenge
Welcome to Western’s Generative AI Challenge!
The Generative AI Challenge is a weekly series of posts designed to explore different facets of Generative AI. This series is designed for faculty, students, staff, and the public interested in exploring Generative AI in more depth, to improve their own AI awareness and inform their decisions on if/how to engage with Generative AI in their own studies, work, and lives.
Each series runs for 8-10 weeks. Each week, we will be featuring a different guest challenger, ensuring that the series offers diverse perspectives across roles, disciplines, and beliefs about Generative AI. New posts will appear below. You will also have the option to subscribe to a weekly email below.
The Generative AI Challenge is brought to you by the Centre for Teaching and Learning and the Chief AI Officer.
