Recording: Think & Drink with ASIMOV | ChatGPT: Academic tool or threat?
Register for this event at Eventbrite! Grab a drink and a snack from 17:00 hrs, panel discussion starts at 17:30 hrs.
Few recent technologies have been as disruptive for students, educators and researchers alike as the large generative language model ChatGPT. Some see this as the future of information creation, while others merely consider it a glorified autocomplete on steroids. But one thing is undeniable: it is already having significant impact on academia and is likely here to stay.
In this edition of Think & Drink with ASIMOV, we invite AI experts, teachers and students to exchange their views on the question if ChatGPT can be a useful tool or poses a fundamental threat to education and academic research.
Join us at the TU Delft Library as we debate whether ChatGPT has a place at the TU Delft and discuss the use and implications of this technology in an academic environment, over a snack and a drink in an interactive and informal panel discussion.

Think and Drink with Asimov
In this quarterly event, Asimov, the Cognitive Robotics research group and Studium Generale are teaming up to engage with ethical conundrums in an informal setting. We invite researchers, philosophers and ethicists to share their views on an ethical issue in robotics and invite you to join us over a pint with your insights and inquiry.
