Community Conversation: The Ethics of AI
April 18, 2025 - 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET
We invite you to a Community Conversation around the ethics of AI on April 18th from 11am-12pm EST.
As generated by ChatGPT: "AI is rapidly transforming academia, offering tools like predictive analytics and virtual support to enhance services and decision-making. While these technologies can improve efficiency and access, they also raise ethical concerns around bias, privacy, and the role of human connection. This discussion invites us to consider both the potential and the responsibility of using AI in ways that align with social work’s core values."
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community.
About the FormatWith these smaller Community Conversations, our goal is to create a restorative space where we can share experiences and learn from one another. The discussion will be guided by practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
