Generative AI: prospects and pitfalls
Richard Gunton is a Senior Lecturer in data science at Queen Mary University of London. Artificial intelligence tools are never far from the consciousness of lecturers or students in today’s academy, and teaching data science to thinkers aged from 18 to 21 provides rich opportunities for reflection on what tools like ChatGPT are, and may soon be, capable of. Richard’s research interests lie at the intersection of science and values, including the nature and limits of objectivity.
