Introducing… the Authors at the Academy Series!
Innovations in AI and Higher Education, with Reid Hoffman and Nicholas B. Dirks (https://events.nyas.org/event/eab0e3c7-591f-4bcd-a568-cba3cc9c1ac9/summary?utm_source=nyas&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=aied&utm_content=enews&mc_cid=a30d74cd2c&mc_eid=UNIQID)
For the first event in the series, join authors Reid Hoffman and Nicholas B. Dirks at the Academy in conversation about innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in Higher Education.
In Hoffman’s new book, Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI, he collaborates with GPT-4, showcasing its capabilities, strengths, and limitations. Through this interactive exploration, readers witness a compelling vision of the future, where AI becomes not a threat but a transformative partner, unlocking the full potential of humanity.
In City of Intellect: Uses and Abuses of the University, Dirks wrestles with some of the most urgent questions with which educational leaders are presently having to engage: including topics such as free speech and campus safe spaces, the humanities’ contested future, the growing demand for technical knowledge, and the real cost and value of liberal arts learning.
In-person participants will receive a complimentary hard copy of both Impromptu and City of Intellect.
