AI

Like so many things in our world, our well-intentioned efforts to solve one problem usher in a legion of new challenges, and AI detection is no different.

Amid doomsaying pronouncements that the publishing industry is dead, we are proud to bring the written word into the future with revolutionary tech...

How agentic AI is forcing us to reimagine online learning -- for the better

Deep Research can do more than reports, its process is pretty interesting to watch -- and it continues to fail in interesting ways.

Right now, an entire generation of young users is coming of age with generative technology. How do you think they’re going to view this technology when they’re adults if their main interaction with GenAI was as a cheating tool in the classroom, a NSFW bot they used to bully one another, or for generating pornography?

I’m working on a project and as part of it I came across this picture.

We know who we are, at least in part, by finding the words — messy, imprecise, unexpected — to tell others, and ourselves, how we see the world.

What’s really going on with campus-wide AI adoption is a mix of virtue signaling and panic purchasing. Universities aren’t paying for AI—they’re paying for the illusion of control. Institutions are buying into the idea that if they adopt AI at scale, they can manage how students use it, integrate it seamlessly into teaching and learning, and somehow future-proof education. But the reality is much messier.

I’m facilitating AI roundtables at my department’s Symposium and I’ve invited faculty members from across disciplines to share what they’re doing in their classes. I’v…

Welcome to the first of the hybrid Speaker Series, From Plagiarism to Post-Plagiarism: Navigating the GenAI revolution in higher education with Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton.\\n\\nGenerative AI (GenAI) is transforming teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Learn to integrate GenAI effectively while maintaining academic integrity and enhancing student agency. \\nDr. Eaton shares innovative strategies that promote critical thinking and original scholarship. Explore how GenAI reshapes academic practices and discover proactive approaches to leverage its potential.\\nThis webinar equips educators, administrators, and policymakers to lead purposefully in a dynamic academic landscape.\\n\\nWhat is CAIELI?\\nCentre for Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Literacy and Integrity (CAIELI) at UCalgary is a collaboration between Libraries & Cultural Resources and Werklund School of Education. This transdisciplinary student-focused initiative aims to encourage effective and ethical use of AI on campus.

Higher education is undergoing a seismic shift with the advent of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies. In this session we explore the transformative impact of GenAI on teaching, learning, and assessment practices in a rapidly evolving academic environment. Join us as we explore challenges and opportunities presented by GenAI, examining how it reshapes our understanding of academic integrity, student agency, and authentic assessment. Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton will discuss innovative strategies for integrating GenAI into educational practices while maintaining the core values of academic integrity, critical thinking, and original scholarship. This webinar is essential for educators, administrators, and policymakers who are grappling with the implications of AI in higher education and seeking proactive approaches to harness its potential. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the concept of post-plagiarism as an impact of GenAI on traditional concepts of plagiarism and academic misconduct in higher education. 2. Identify strategies to foster student agency and critical thinking skills in an AI-augmented learning environment. 3. Formulate approaches to uphold and promote academic integrity in the context of widespread GenAI use in higher education. Recommended citation: Eaton, S. E. (2025, January 29).

There is a deep disorder in the discourse of generative artificial intelligence (AI). When AI seems to make things up or distort reality — adding extra fingers

What the newest developments in artificial intelligence mean for faculty, staff and administrators.

One of my most successful experiments with artificial intelligence has been with Google’s NotebookLM product. While preparing the update to the Productivity Field Guide, I fed it everything from the prior version, plus transcripts from about 50 videos I recorded, as well as twelve webinars. I also included my research notes prepared for the 2025 edition.... Continue reading →

Trevor and Christiana speak with professor, sociologist, and MacArthur Fellowship winner Ruha Benjamin about some of the pressing political and social issues of the day. The three discuss whether DEI initiatives are in fact valuable and how the world will look without them, why universities honor people whose voices they’ve previously tried to silence, and how best to navigate a world that was not built for us. Can the three collectively imagine a better world order? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
