This session is part of the AI x L&T event series (31 July – 4 August)
Generative AI (GAI) has recently become more widely available and is impacting higher education, raising questions about the future of learning. Within UTS, conversations about GAI cover assessment, integrity, its role as a learning tool or administrative aid, and how humans’ roles will change in the workplace. To address these discussions and provide support, AI x L&T aims to create a visible forum for connecting individuals with similar ideas and challenges, reducing anxiety and facilitating informed action.
