Critical Conversations About AI: Choosing to Opt Out

Date(s): Wednesday, December 2 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Location: Thinkerspace, G124

AI is reshaping how we learn, teach, create, work, govern, and relate to one another. Universities are being asked to respond quickly to technological change and guide students through a rapidly shifting educational landscape that we can’t fully see yet. And while the pace seems urgent, there are deep, complex, and incredibly important questions we need to ask that are ethical philosophical, political, ecological, pedagogical, cultural, and deeply human.

Topic: Choosing to Opt Out

  • Do we, or where do we, have the ability to meaningfully consent to AI when it is embedded in institutional technology and systems?
  • Where is AI already operating without our awareness?
  • What are the personal, professional, and educational consequences of refusing AI tools?
  • How do institutions respect both AI adopters and AI resisters?

These conversations are an opportunity to think across disciplines and perspectives; they are not about finding consensus.

Questions worth thinking about together: This series is designed around eight themes. Each month explores a critical theme through multiple lenses. We begin with tensions, contradictions, and questions that deserve sustained conversation. This is a monthly conversation series that takes place the first Wednesday of the month.
