Since late 2022, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and applications have been among the most discussed topics in education, public media, and private conversations. Interest in and concerns about using AI products in classroom settings are certain to increase in the coming years. One of the twelve actions in the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) Vision 2030 calls for “Actively engaging with the impacts of generative AI on future teaching and learning” (CCCCO, 2023).
The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, and the CCCCO have combined to present a series of free zoom webinars to help colleges learn about defining and using generative AI (GenAI).
College students are already experimenting with generative AI products such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and DALL-E, with or without clear local classroom policies around the use of AI products. As colleges navigate this rapidly evolving technology, clearly defining AI and GenAI and examining ethical concerns around their use in education will help further meaningful discussions of AI use and applications in the community college system.
