What is Machine Learning and What is it Doing in Education?

Initial conversation in our Innovation/Education series for Spring 2023:

Amidst the current frenzy and some fear for ChatGPT and other new text- and image-generating AI bots promising to disrupt higher education, we pause to deepen the conversation on machine learning or artificial intelligence as a potential learning tool and emerging reality on campus. We have organized a series of conversations with and for faculty, staff, and students that pursue three questions: What is machine learning? Where might we use it? How should we address it?
