SAVE THE DATE ~ AI Event Friday August 21st!

[Bridget Haina]

All are welcome to attend and engage in dialogue as a community!  The goal
of this summit is to come to a shared understanding of what artificial
intelligence (AI) is, how it is being used within higher-education spaces
and address the tensions we feel around this new technology.

The event planning team has developed an event resource document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yt49b5E-L-C52koCJFVxorbUa9siU12m9u2oFv4ZdlM/edit?usp=drivesdk>
for folks to check out. There are a lot of resources linked in this
document and we would encourage those planning to participate to choose a
few articles to read.
