Overview

Are you an educator in higher education who works with diverse students? Are you intent on creating more diverse, classroom environments? Have you been dabbling with artificial intelligence (AI) on your own? Are you interested in learning how it might or might not support your work in the classroom in responsible and equitable ways? Join us for this year’s Disillusioning AI Fellowship for Universities of Wisconsin Educators!

With the advent of generative AI, teachers are faced with the difficult choice of trusting advanced technologies to take advantage of their transformative potential. Trusting educational AI is getting harder as these systems become less transparent, less predictable, and raise equity concerns. During this fellowship, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and learn alongside fellow educators in higher education across the University of Wisconsin system to improve your AI literacy, engage in hands-on exploration of AI tools, and discuss what you’re learning with colleagues. Participants who successfully complete all program expectations will receive a $250 stipend.
