HLS Beyond Presents: Am AI Okay?

As AI becomes a part of our academic, personal, and professional lives, many of us are quietly navigating our relationship to it — deciding how to use it responsibly, when to lean in, when to hold back, and how to stay aligned with our values along the way. Whether we’re using AI for personal, academic, or professional tasks, the feelings we have about using it come from many places – our peers, our affiliated institutions, our professional colleagues, as well as our own sense of humanity. According to research produced by the Center for Digital Thriving (CDT), acknowledging the underpinnings of these feelings – often characterized by secrecy and shame –  can help us navigate to a more clear-sighted engagement with the technology. In this session, led by fellow Dan Be Kim from the CDT, together you’ll work through a series of short exercises designed to help make our inner experiences with AI more visible and explicit. Focusing not only on what AI does for us, but also on what AI does to us — shaping our habits, pressures, and decision-making both individually and collectively — you’ll leave with an approach to AI informed by a greater awareness and intention in your personal and professional lives.
