Umeå University has assumed a leading role in the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), primarily in research but also in education.
AI impacts many aspects of our lives. Its reach extends across all sectors of society, from healthcare to industry, finance, and commerce. Higher education is no exception. In higher education, public debate often centers heavily on students using AI to gain unfair advantages. However, our work at Umeå University is not just about examinations.
The faculty leadership has instructed Humlab to develop and conduct several practical workshops during the spring of 2024 to enhance AI literacy within the Humanities Faculty. The intention is to increase awareness and elevate proficiency regarding generative AI within our faculty. This is to leverage AI's potential for learning, administrative processes, and research, preparing for a future increasingly influenced by AI technology.
We aim to foster a balanced, constructive, and insightful perspective on AI's role within our daily work. By embracing AI's challenges and opportunities early on, we at the Humanities Faculty can be pioneers in education, research, and administration enhanced by AI. We become insightful users and ethical thinkers, able to navigate the complexities of our AI reality now and in the future.
The course content includes: bias, integrity, digital divides, transparency, fundamental understanding of AI ecosystems, methods for 'prompting', data protection laws, various chatbots, and more.
This workshop has at least 10 spots reserved for staff at Humfak, the rest are open for all employees at Umeå University.
The workshop format is 3 x 45 minutes. Two-thirds of workshop is precisely the same for all: About AI, AI Ecosystem, Fundamentals of Generative AI, Prompting Methods, Bias and Ethics, etc. The final 45 minutes is specifically focused on each target group; that is, research, teaching or admin.
New dates!
The first 12 workshops are fully booked but we have opened up 5 new ones. You can find updated information about the available sessions here.
