Event Date
What do we make of the response of higher education to new AI technologies? Martha Kenney and Martha Lincoln have critiqued the adoption of LLMs by universities, specifically regarding CSU's agreement with OpenAI. Martha Kenney will speak about their concept of "AI Centrism" and university contracts with AI firms. AI Centrism names the rhetoric and policies that appear to create a middle ground between boosters and critics, but in practice are equivalent to uncritical adoption.
Martha Kenney is Professor of Women and Gender Studies at San Francisco State University.
Co-sponsored by the UC Davis Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies Department, the Feminist Research Institute, and Center for Artificial Intelligence and Experimental Futures.
This is a hybrid event. Join us in person at the Feminist Research Institute or through Zoom.
