Similarly, some think climatic trends in the centuries after the RCO were in large part responsible for the Roman Empire’s decline and disintegration. This lecture seeks to nuance these differences in climate and society to highlight why broad climatic phases cannot by themselves be used as societal determinants.

Tufts AI Literacy Forums Fall 2024

• Has Perplexity become a secret friend you love to pester? Does ChatGPT feel like an evil robot overlord you’re not sure you can trust?
  
• Are you curious about how others at Tufts are using AI? Do you ever wonder if you’re the only one with mixed feelings about it?

Over the past two years, generative AI tools have found their way into the spaces where we learn, teach, and work. This series creates an opportunity to discuss the ethical and effective uses of AI and how we can define AI literacy in a way that supports our shared values.

Join a forum where students, faculty, and staff come together to discuss how generative AI is shaping life at Tufts—both inside and outside the classroom.
