Experts from across Vanderbilt University will participate in a curated conversation exploring possibilities for using generative AI to augment research on human learning and development on Thursday, November 16. The workshop is sponsored by the Peabody Research Office and the College’s LIVE Initiative (LIVE stands for Learning Incubator: a Vanderbilt Endeavor).
Grounded in real examples from faculty who are using AI in their work, the workshop will unpack both exciting potentials and common pitfalls, including support for thinking through prospective applications to research.
Panelists include James Bisbee, assistant professor of political science; Amy Booth, professor of psychology and human development; Scott Crossley, professor of special education; Ole Molvig, assistant professor of history; Amanda Goodwin, professor of literacy education; and Jesse Spencer-Smith, interim director and chief data scientist, Data Science Institute. The panel will be moderated by Alyssa Wise, LIVE Director and professor of technology and education.
The workshop, “Navigating the Possibilities of Generative AI to Support Human Learning and Development Research,” will be held from 4-5:30 p.m. in 117 Mayborn. Registration is required.
