Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT is the new (and not so new) flavor of the month!

Students and teachers alike are talking about and using ChatGPT. While AI can make our lives easier in some respects, there are some concerns in its application in our lives, particularly regarding the impact on teaching and learning. This talk will explore the use of AI for teaching and learning — the potential benefits as well as the concerns.

Cynthia Wiseman is a professor in Academic Literacy & Linguistics at the Borough of Manhattan Community College at City University of New York. She has been an English language teacher and teacher trainer for more than 40 years, working in the US and abroad.
