Description
This project aims to explore the design, use and impact of generative AI systems, and specifically text-generators and language models, from the perspective of human-AI interaction and FATE (Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Ethics) and in relation to learning.
In particular, we aim to:
- Explore the interactions between humans and machines as mediated by text-generators using Chat-GPT as the primary example;
- Experiment with text-generation algorithms and establish guidelines of good practice in terms of meaningful communication;
- Reflect on the role of AI technologies as a facilitator of human-machine and human-human information exchange, communication, and collaboration.
For this project, we will work in groups of 4 students on a predefined topic (each group will be assigned a different topic). During the first weeks, we will provide an overview of the project, its goals, and related theoretical and practical concepts. Then, the groups will work towards three milestones:
a. An initial presentation of their ideas, strategies and workplans to address the project’s topic;
b. A mid-term presentation of the work-progress up to that point
c. A final presentation of the finished project and a written project report in the form of a scientific article.
Kick-off meeting: Thursday, October 12th, 2023
