What do students want to learn about generative AI? Part 1

Digital Dominoes

In this episode of Digital Dominoes, host Angeline Corvaglia is joined by Ilkem Kayican Dipcin, an academic instructor at Sabanci University. It is part 1 of a 3-part series where they discuss a survey conducted among 76 freshman students on their interests and concerns regarding generative AI. The conversation highlights key insights from the survey, including students' keen interest in learning effective AI usage and about AI algorithms. This contrasts with their limited interest in learning about AI ethics and societal impacts. The series gives a very interesting look into university students' views on using AI, and underscores the necessity of comprehensive education on AI, balancing career ambitions with ethical awareness.
