Western University’s Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) has introduced a free, open initiative to encourage conversations about AI. The Generative AI Challenge is an eight-week project that uses exercises and mini-lessons to help participants expand their knowledge of AI. Each mini-lesson is created by a Western faculty, staff, or student “challenger” with the goal of empowering participants to have informed discussions about AI. “Rather than challenging folks to adopt and use AI technologies in specific ways, the foundational goal of this series is to challenge participants to expand their ways of thinking about generative AI technologies and their impact, both positive and negative, by building knowledge,” said Western CTL E-learning and Curriculum Specialist Dani Dilkes.
