SUMMARY:Friday Frontiers Webinar: Thinking With Machines: How Academics Can
  Use Generative AI Thoughtfully and Ethically
DESCRIPTION:Friday 2nd May\, 4pm IST / 5pm CEST / 6pm EEST\n\nSpeaker: Mar
 k Carrigan (University of Manchester)\n\nRegistration: https://dariah.zoo
 m.us/meeting/register/xbJkSexDQuq_0asz4rMdZg\n\nAbstract\n\nThe emergence 
 of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools presents both opportunities and c
 hallenges for academia. While these technologies offer powerful capabiliti
 es to support scholarship\, their thoughtless adoption could undermine the
  very foundations of academic work. This talk introduces a framework for i
 ncorporating generative AI into academic practice in ways that enhance rat
 her than replace human thought. Drawing on extensive practical experience\
 , it demonstrates how conversational agents can serve as intellectual inte
 rlocutors rather than mere productivity tools\, while examining the broade
 r implications of these developments for the future of universities.\n\nAb
 out the Speaker\n\nDr Mark Carrigan FRSA FHEA is a Senior Lecturer in Ed
