Inside a University’s ‘AI Kitchen’ - Jashua Bay, Inside Higher Ed

Every Friday Le helps welcome about 50 participants for nearly four-hour sessions where attendees test new AI tools and explore how they’re used across fields ranging from medicine and marketing to education and real estate. “During one session we had a staff member from [the] Anthropology [Department], and they brought in a lot of new, different perspectives about how AI might be changing the humanities,” Le said. “Coming from a more tech perspective, we may be focusing on more of the technical details and all of the code and specifics, but it’s also really important to think about what the implications are in other fields.” “The fact that AI Kitchen is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, is one of the most incredible things,” she added.
