AI Literacy for Everyone Who Learns and Inquires: AI Ethics and Inquiry
We can approach AI systems as if they were agents with beliefs, desires, and intentions. We do this, sometimes, when we interact with complicated tools. However, this agential stance masks some key limitations and capacities of AI systems that are more easily diagnosed from a high-level understanding of their design. Just as important, however, is that the design stance masks the values and ethical frameworks we need to evaluate uses of AI systems. Because of this, we argue that AI literacy requires collaboration between humanities and sciences. In this talk we introduce our approach to AI literacy, focusing specifically on Large Language Models (LLMs) and their general impacts on many kinds of inquiry, ranging from the everyday (how would you cook cauliflower as if it were a steak?), to the academic (what’s a good way for me to study this material?), to the basics (help me generate ideas!).

The Malcolm M. Renfrew Interdisciplinary Colloquium is a series of lectures by distinguished members of the University of Idaho faculty and staff who present and describe their approaches to teaching and/or research in their respective disciplines. These lectures explore the specific subjects and methodologies that define the disciplines within which the speakers work. Substantive interdisciplinary work requires an appreciation for the nature of the disciplines involved.
