These faculty-led sessions are meant to be informal spaces where colleagues can share and discuss ideas with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While text-generative AI is criticized as being racist and anti-Indigenous, it proves to be a useful tool to teach students about settler colonial discourses and biases found in online texts. In this \u201cSpotlight on AI\u201d session, Samantha Stevens (School of Canadian Studies) will show how a guided exercise allowed students to use ChatGPT to uncover how the output perpetuates pan-Indigenous narratives, misses details or presents wrong information, promotes the use of derogatory terms, and evades mentioning the complicity of settlers and settler governments\/institutions in settler colonialism. This exercise not only enhanced the learning objectives, but also allowed students to critically engage with the knowledge they had learned and taught them that AI does not create reliable information on Indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please register in advance by filling out the form below.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-48524","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2024-01-09T13:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2024-01-09T14:30:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/48524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/48524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48645,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/48524\/revisions\/48645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=48524"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/tls\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=48524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
