I got tired of partisan apples-to-oranges arguments about AI energy and water use, so I boiled the research down to 9 takeaways. I used consistent units so you can compare a ChatGPT prompt to watching Netflix or searching Google.
ChatGPT gets 82% of basic coding tasks right!
But is it classroom-ready? While great for beginners, ChatGPT struggles with complex tasks and sometimes misses the mark on accuracy.
How can educators make the most of AI without compromising critical thinking? Let’s discuss!

hi all
I'm crowdsourcing nstitutional AI policies and governance structures.
Some folks have done some great work in this realm but I wanted to find something that was a little more searchable and sortable, so I've created this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekHa9rXvZJfzYjv4JONRfiokQszw9bG_UGvJW3e6M7hNiG2w/viewform for folks to submit their institutional policies and they will end up in this document: https://bit.ly/Institutional-AI-Policies
Feel free to submit & share along!
Google DocsInstitutional AI Policies & Governance StructuresThe goal of this form is to collect institutional and college-wide policies or governance structures related to artificial intelligence, specifically, generative artificial intelligence. Upon completing the form, the policy will be placed in this resource shortly thereafter for others to see.
If you have any questions about this form or the document where this will end up, please contact, Lance Eaton.
Emails are collected for follow up clarifications, they will not be shared on the document unless requested in the form.
If you would like to submit your syllabus policy, please complete this form (https://bit.ly/AISyllabiSubmit) and it will show up on this resource.
Unveiling WOPA’s Future: Educational Programs, VR Experiences, AI & ML, Mentorship, and More
Hello fellow explorers of human history!
I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates and future plans for the World of Paleoanthropology (WOPA). Our mission has always been to make the fascinating field of paleoanthropology accessible and engaging to a diverse audience. With these new initiatives, we are set to expand our reach and impact even further.
Expanding Our Reach
Our primary goal is to reach a broader audience and bring the wonders of human evolution to everyone, from students to enthusiasts. We plan to achieve this through a multi-faceted approach:
1. Educational Programs: We are developing comprehensive educational programs tailored for schools and community groups. These programs will include interactive sessions, workshops, and virtual tours of significant paleoanthropological sites.
2. Digital Content: We’re enhancing our digital presence with more video content, podcasts, and online articles. The success of our YouTube series, “The Story of Us,” has shown us the power of digital media in spreading scientific knowledge. Expect more in-depth episodes, interviews with experts, and live Q&A sessions.
3. Community Engagement: We’re launching initiatives to engage directly with communities. This includes public lectures, community science days, and collaborations with local museums and educational institutions.
Leveraging Technology
In line with our commitment to innovation, we’re incorporating advanced technologies to enrich our content and reach:
1. Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences: Imagine walking through ancient hominin habitats or witnessing a day in the life of early humans. Our VR experiences will make this possible, providing immersive learning opportunities.
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): We’re exploring the use of AI and ML to enhance our educational tools. From interactive quizzes to AI-driven content recommendations, these technologies will make learning more personalized and effective.
3. Interactive Platforms: We are developing interactive platforms where users can explore fossil databases, participate in virtual digs, and contribute to citizen science projects.
Inspiring the Next Generation
A key focus of our expansion is to inspire the next generation of scientists and science communicators. We’re launching initiatives aimed at students and young researchers:
1. Mentorship Programs: We will connect budding paleoanthropologists with experienced mentors in the field. This will provide invaluable guidance and support to the next generation.
2. Research Opportunities: Through partnerships with universities and research institutions, we aim to offer research opportunities for students. This includes fieldwork, lab work, and collaborative projects.
3. Youth Science Communication: Encouraging young people to share their passion for science is crucial. We will provide training and platforms for students to develop and showcase their science communication skills.
A Personal Note
As I near the completion of my Bachelor of Arts (BA) program at Arizona State University, I am excited to dive deeper into paleoanthropology. My undergraduate thesis explores how AI and ML can be used to reach underprivileged communities with science education, further aligning with our mission at WOPA. Moving forward, I plan to continue my education in graduate school, where I hope to expand my research and contribute even more to the field of paleoanthropology.
Join Us on This Journey
I invite you all to join us on this exciting journey. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher, a curious student, or simply someone fascinated by human history, there’s a place for you at WOPA. Together, we can uncover the secrets of our past and inspire a future generation of explorers.
Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to get involved!
Warm regards,
Seth Chagi and the WOPA Team!
With the constant stream of news about bigger and better AI models, it can be hard to keep track of their dangers. So I made a free infographic to illustrate 10 downsides based on the IMPACT RISK mnemonic. You can download a portrait-oriented PDF or PNG, or incorporate a landscape-oriented slide into your presentation deck—all public domain. https://bit.ly/impactrisk
