GenAI Studio: Monthly Deep Dive: Model Behaviour: Redefining our AI Glossary
These sixty minute, weekly sessions – facilitated by Technologists and Pedagogy Experts from the CTLT – are designed for faculty, researchers, graduate students, and staff at UBC who are using, or thinking about using, Generative AI tools as part of their teaching, researching, or daily work.
The last session of each month throughout 2025 will focus on one specific topic within AI. We’ll take a much deeper dive into one facet with the intention that by the end of the year we’re all able to much more comfortably converse about and use AI in our own disciplines.
Session run on Zoom every Wednesday from 1pm – 2pm and you can register for upcoming events on the CTLT Events Website.
