And so if we think about that and, you know, taking education as a model and we think about the Canon canonical texts, gen ed courses, you know, T.S. They just operate in a really different time, and access to the information is spread out over more people. So if we think of libraries as being, uh, the center and the heart of universities and often universities founded around a library, libraries are just a large language model. I think AI is a present stage in a long continuum. Before we dive into specifics of AI and higher education, how is AI perceived from your vantage point and how is it being used in higher education currently? Peter, why don’t we start with you. And we will have all three together in a panel. Schilling led the information technology departments at Amherst College and Wagner College, was the founding director of Bowdoin College’s Educational Technology Center, and as the Associate Vice President of Academic Innovation helped New York University develop and deliver technology enhanced courses at NYU campuses across the globe. Today he talks to us about rulemaking issues surrounding AI. Peter Schilling is the executive director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning, as well as a graduate faculty in instructional technology in the College of Education and Human Development. Sekeh was granted the National Science Foundation Career Award in 2022 and talks with us today about the technical aspects of AI.ĭr. She holds a PhD in inferential statistics with primary teaching and research interests in machine learning and data science. Salimeh Sekeh is an assistant professor of computer Science in the School of Computing and information Science at the University of Maine. Abedi leads UMaine AI and talks with us about the applications of AI.ĭr.
He has received a number of awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Canadian Space Agency, NASA and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Ali Abedi joined the University of Maine in 2005, where he is currently a professor of electrical and computer engineering and an associate vice president for research.
Today we’ll be talking with Ali Abedi, Salimeh Sekeh, and Peter Schilling about navigating artificial intelligence, largely known as AI, in research and education. My name is Eric Miller, and I’ll be your host. Eric Miller: Hello and welcome back to Maine Policy Matters, the official podcast of the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine, where we discuss the policy matters that are most important to Maine’s people and why Maine policy matters at the local, state, and national levels. On this episode of Maine Policy Matters, we talk with Ali Abedi, Salimeh Sekeh, and Peter Schilling about navigating AI in research and education.
