We were fortunate to welcome AI artist and NMD alumnus Eryk Salvaggio to talk to our Introduction to New Media class about the technology, ethics, and aesthetics of AI-generated media. Among the questions from students were:

* Can AI models be tricked into bad behavior?
* Will generative AI plateau?
* Can deepfakes be stopped?
* Why the deformed hands?

Check out our interactive recording of this lively conversation at https://nmdprojects.net/teleconferences/nmd_webinar_ai_media_qa_2023.html.

🗞️🤖🥘Are you a New Media alum willing to be interviewed for a news story by the Portland Press Herald about ChatGPT and food?

This Wednesday at 3:30pm Eastern is our last webinar of the season, on making images with AI.

Generative AI has been expanding the creative possibilities of art and design well before text generators like ChatGPT caught the world's attention. Given nothing more than a few well-chosen phrases, software like DALLE-2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney can quickly generate never-before seen images that are outlandish or realistic, in styles ranging from photographic to cartoonish. This workshop by Aaron Boothroyd will demo a handful of these tools and entertain a discussion about how they might change art education as well as work prospects for creative professionals.

Wondering how generative AI will transform education? Here's an interactive recording of our April 4th webinar with Peter Schilling and Jon Ippolito:

AI in the Classroom: Disruptor or Superpower?
https://nmdprojects.net/teleconferences/nmd_webinar_ai_in_classroom_2023.html

The presenters explain how generative AI works and assesses three strategies for educators confronting AI in class: banishment, replacement, or collaboration. You can use the video's table of contents to jump to specific demos, like how to prompt ChatGPT to act as a Socratic tutor or debug code, or to broader ethical and pedagogical discussions, like the risk of exacerbating unequal access to education.

It's all part of our new initiative, Learning With AI https://LearnWithAI.org

The rapid progress in generative AI technology has left educators struggling to keep pace with the latest innovations, and uncertain about how to effectively integrate tools like ChatGPT into the classroom. Meanwhile, students and school officials are grappling with the best policies to adopt regarding these tools - should they be prohibited entirely, or should students be allowed to credit ChatGPT as a co-author? Is there a way to supplement traditional education with these tools rather than replace it altogether?

To tackle these questions, the New Media program and UMaine's Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning have launched an initiative to provide educators with the necessary resources and strategies to navigate the age of generative AI. This includes suggested guidelines for syllabi, tips for prioritizing students' original work over auto-generated text, and practical methods for leveraging AI to develop lesson plans or evaluate grades using spreadsheets.
