A.I. Refusal in Education and Beyond: A Conversation with Hannah Cyrus and Janna Ahrndt

Register

Skeptical about all the A.I. hype? Want a space to discuss the whys and hows of refusal? Just curious? 

Join Hannah Cyrus (Digital Media Librarian at Bangor Public Library) and Janna Ahrndt (Assistant Professor of Art and Interim Director of the MIST Lab at USM) to learn about how generative A.I. works, how (un)reliable it is as an information source, and more about USM's contract with Chat GPT Edu, including surveillance and privacy issues and implications for intellectual freedom. We will also have resources about how to disable generative A.I. on your devices.

This event is in-person only, free, and open to the public.
