How I Became Our University’s “AI Guy”

How did this begin? In January 2023, at the urging of a supervisor who had heard me express concern about ChatGPT’s capabilities, I sent a modest email to our Associate Vice Provost for Communications. I want to be clear. I don’t typically write emails to anyone with any version of “vice” or “provost” in their title. It was a stretch, to be sure. But I kept it simple and said something like, “If the Provost is thinking of sending out a message on AI, I’m happy to help in any way I can.”

Where does responsibility for academic integrity start and end?

While doing a literature search recently, I came across a recently published, fantastic dissertation. The abstract said all the right things to help fill a gap in my research. To verify the applicability of its findings to my own work, I dove into the literature review and methodology section further. I then did what most researchers do…..I went down that colossal time waster, yet highly informative rabbit hole and read the references.
