Episode 9.5: Incorporating artificial intelligence into universities

Question: Do you use ChatGPT or another AI program?

Artificial intelligence seems to be infiltrating all aspects of our lives. Robison will discuss the ways U of I is supporting its researchers, including a story of translating old educational texts, and how he hopes his team can improve how the university is run.
