Hands-on AI: from hackathons to co-design sessions
Actively Shaping the Academic Future of AI
In the Hands-on AI event series, we invite staff and students to actively help shape the future of AI in education and research. During these sessions, we explore the possibilities, limitations, and ethical frameworks of generative AI. Does this appeal to you? Sign up and let your vision of the future help improve today’s education.
For who?
Each session in the series has its own focus and brings together users, AI experts and developers. By taking part, you directly influence how AI is developed and used within our university. This allows us to test the UvA AI Chat system, design new features (like AI personas), and gather feedback so that the chat tool becomes more reliable and easier to use for the entire academic community at the University of Amsterdam. The ultimate aim of the hackathon series is to ensure that lecturers can effectively guide students, supported by UvA AI Chat. Together with fellow staff and students, you will tackle current challenges in education to help achieve this goal, for example how to use AI responsibly when writing a thesis.
This series is ideal for lecturers and/or students who:
- are curious about AI in education and research;
- want to experiment with AI development within the university;
- enjoy being involved in an innovative project.
