FHSU will host an AI Institute & Fair on Tuesday, Feb. 25, from 2 to 7 p.m. The event, held in FHSU’s Memorial Union Ballroom and online, will allow participants to explore the future of AI (artificial intelligence) through discussions, demonstrations, and interactive experiences. Faculty, staff, students, and community members are all welcome to attend free of charge.
• 2-5 p.m.: Sessions featuring workshops, panels, and demonstrations on AI’s role in education, research, and industry. Sessions will be available both in-person and online.
• 5-7 p.m.: Open Fair with interactive booths showcasing AI applications, research, and emerging technologies.
There will be sessions specific to the different populations (e.g., "Writing with AI" for students presented by the Writing Center; "Ethical Use of AI for Writing" for faculty given by the Writing Across Curriculum Committee), as well as general sessions for everyone (e.g. "Multimedia and AI: Tools, Opportunities, and Ethics"; "The Tech Stack behind AI's Evolution").
“The event is designed to make AI accessible to everyone,” said Magdalen Moy, FHSU Generative AI Task Force chair. “The goal is to provide a broad range of information on how people can use AI in their education, jobs, and personal lives.”
Information presented will include chatbots faculty are building and implementing with their students, perspectives from students on how they've used AI in their coursework and creative activities, policy discussions from a Midwest Energy IT administrator, hardware and software demonstration from an Element 84 software engineer, career support tools from the Career Center, and course design applications from Instructional Designers.
