How can generative AI transform the way we teach, learn, and discover?
Join us for an engaging talk with Dr Anthony Harris, Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College, to explore practical, responsible, and permissible ways to integrate generative AI into university teaching and research.
Discover how GenAI can help create quizzes and exams, design lesson plans, summarise complex scholarship across languages, and analyse research data – all while maintaining academic integrity and creativity. Dr Harris will also introduce core techniques of effective prompt engineering and advanced configuration to elicit high-quality, reliable results while avoiding common pitfalls such as AI ‘hallucinations’. The talk concludes with strategies for recognising GenAI-generated student work, and a series of real-world examples showing how GenAI is already enriching disciplines across the Humanities and STEM fields.
The event will start with tea, coffee and biscuits from 5pm, followed by the talk from 5.30pm. A drinks reception will be held immediately after the event.
