What do students want to learn about generative AI? Part 1

In this episode of Digital Dominoes, host Angeline Corvaglia is joined by Ilkem Kayican Dipcin, an academic instructor at Sabanci University. It is part 1 of a 3-part series where they discuss a survey conducted among 76 freshman students on their interests and concerns regarding generative AI. The conversation highlights key insights from the survey, including students' keen interest in learning effective AI usage and about AI algorithms. This contrasts with their limited interest in learning about AI ethics and societal impacts. The series gives a very interesting look into university students' views on using AI, and underscores the necessity of comprehensive education on AI, balancing career ambitions with ethical awareness. 00:00 Introduction to Digital Dominoes00:30 Understanding Generative AI01:14 Survey Insights: Student Perspectives03:31 Aha Moments and Key Findings06:53 The Importance of Algorithm Awareness10:44 Ethical Concerns and Data Privacy15:14 Conclusion and Future DiscussionsSpecial thanks toIlkem Kayican Dipcin for taking time to be a part of this episode!
