Ideas That Matter

Ideas That Matter: Artificial Intelligence

Join us for the second year of Ideas That Matter in 2024-25: Artificial Intelligence

Generative AI is fundamentally changing how we learn, work, and play. This year we will investigate as a community how those changes are happening around us. We will explore the possibilities, ethical questions, issues of intellectual property, and the implications for higher education.

Artificial intelligence is an Idea That Matters to education, jobs, and leisure. We encourage all members of the college community to participate in events and learning opportunities throughout the year.

See links for year-long planned events, educational opportunities and resources for the entire Geneseo community.
