AI and Ethics: Where Do You Draw the Line?
Monday, April 6 | 3 -4 p.m.

Presenter: Ed Lessor, Master Instructor, Department of English & Kelly Bradbury, Associate Professor of English
How is AI reshaping the world, and what does that mean for how you use it in school? This session is a wide-open, student-driven conversation that starts with the big ethical questions around generative AI and works its way into the choices you’re making in your classes right now.

Morgan Library room 175 | Join via MS Teams

AI is changing how information is created, found, and shared. In this hands-on session, you’ll explore how AI is being used in research, discuss the specific challenges for finding and evaluating information in the AI era, and compare using AI tools and library research tools in order to research more effectively and responsibly. If possible, please bring a laptop to test and compare tools!
The AI Dilemma Room
AI is everywhere. But what happens when using it isn’t clearly right or wrong? In this interactive discussion, you’ll draw a scenario card — a situation you might actually face — and share your honest take. No lectures, no easy answers. Just real conversations about the ethical gray zones AI is creating in academic life and beyond.
