The Academy for Responsible Research, Teaching, and Innovation (ARRTI) and International Affairs (INTL) are organizing a panel discussion on "Large Language Models in Academic Teaching: De- or Up-Skilling?" on 6 February 2025, 6 - 7:30 pm at Triangel, within the framework of the EPICUR SHAPE-IT project.

In this event we will analyze both the critical dimensions of the discussion and the opportunities that this new technology brings. Not only does it offer new possibilities for knowledge transfer, but it also raises fundamental questions about the roles of teachers and learners, especially in the academic world. In particular, we will explore whether LLMs are more likely to lead to deskilling - a reduction in skills - or upskilling - an increase in skills - in academic teaching, and how this should ultimately be assessed.

Participation is possible both on-site and online. You are welcome to join us at short notice (without registration) if you would like to participate on-site.
