BadgerTalks Virtual event: The Role of AI in Research

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about ChatGPT and the other new advances in artificial intelligence. These tools have the potential to change work, education, and the way we think about what it means to analyze data and even to “know” something at all. Learn more about AI and its role in research with UW-Madison professor David Williamson Shaffer.

Professor Shaffer is the Sears Bascom Professor of Learning analytics at the University of Wisconsin in the Department of Educational Psychology and a Data Philosopher at the Wisconsin Center for Education Research. He studies ways of merging statistical and qualitative methods to construct fair models of complex and collaborative human activity.

Professor Shaffer will be joining us virtually for this talk. Attendees may log in from anywhere using Zoom, or may visit the Mercer Library to view the lecture together. The Zoom link will be announced shortly before the event, so stay tuned for more information.
