Generative AI: A Fast Track to Engineering
GenAI is unlike anything most of us have ever worked with before. To get it to work for you it helps to know a bit about what it’s doing and why. The more we know, the more choices we can make. But there’s more than one way to investigate a technology – especially one that can ‘talk’.
This session will be presented by Professor Berry Billingsley (Science Education):
'As a Professor in Science Education and a former story producer for Tomorrow’s World, I am intrigued by the way that prompt engineering combines skills from science, writing, philosophy and art. My grants to date have helped me to investigate the nature of knowledge across curriculum divisions. I now specialise in creating multidisciplinary educational journeys for students of all ages to help them work in and with AI. I use AI tools more when I'm exploring something new or fishing for a better way to say something. I wrote this biography with some assistance from AI tools, and the summary is all my own work.'
Aimed at
All staffAims & Objectives
In this session you will have Professor Bingsley's pick of interesting, quirky and useful things you can do with Bing/Bard and ChatGPT – through the mindset of a playful scientist.
'From ‘nuts and bolts’ explanations in computer science to use-cases in astronomy, biology, education, epistemology, politics, theology and the arts – what’s remarkable about GenAI is that every discipline can have something to say. Which is why I would very much like to know – what was the first prompt or question you put into a GenAI chatbot – and what did the bot reply? I will succeed if I can spark your sense of curiosity and show you some unexpected reasons and ways to work across disciplinary divides.'
