I share with a strong recommendation the opportunity to sign up this series of activities event from Middlebury College, the Digital Detox on Demystifying AI.
Demystifying AI starts January 8 with articles and activities launching every Wednesday through mid-February.
In last year’s Digital Detox, we demystified generative AI through a series of explorations and activities. In our 2025 Detox, we ask: Where are we now with generative AI? A lot of promises have been made and a lot has changed in the last year. Many of us are left wondering how to situate our still-emerging understanding of these technologies. What do we need to know about generative AI and AI more broadly? How do we make decisions about our use of these technologies? How do we assess the impacts these technologies have on our lives and our world? Through readings and activities, we’ll invite participants to consider these questions for themselves and to share what they are learning with others.
Sign up for 2025. I’ll be there, will you?
