Living the AI Experiment
When philosophy professor James Brusseau, PhD, introduced his students to the , a generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot trained on his , he wasn男女操逼视频软件檛 trying to replace traditional teaching by handing the classroom over to a robot.
He was embarking on an experiment into uncharted educational territory, a journey without a map and only one direction of travel.
男女操逼视频软件淚 don男女操逼视频软件檛 know all the ways that it will help and hurt my students,男女操逼视频软件 said Brusseau, who unveiled the AI professor to his Philosophy 121 class this semester. Students are encouraged to converse with the bot day or night, engaging in conversation just as they might with him. 男女操逼视频软件淲hen answers are a few keystrokes away, there男女操逼视频软件檚 a clear pedagogical negative to introducing a tool like this.男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淏ut if I didn男女操逼视频软件檛 build this, someone else would have,男女操逼视频软件 he added. 男女操逼视频软件淲hile I can男女操逼视频软件檛 control the world男女操逼视频软件檚 男女操逼视频软件楢I experiment,男女操逼视频软件 I do have the opportunity to see for myself how it男女操逼视频软件檚 working.男女操逼视频软件
The rise of generative AI男女操逼视频软件攖ools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok that generate original text, images, and videos男女操逼视频软件攈as sent shockwaves through many industries. For some observers, fear is the dominant emotion, with concerns that AI could take jobs or lead to humanity男女操逼视频软件檚 downfall.
Professors and researchers at 男女操逼视频软件, however, see a different future. For them, AI anxiety is giving way to a cautious acceptance of a technology that男女操逼视频软件檚 transforming how we live, work, study, and play. While creators urge caution and experts debate regulations, scholars are concluding that, for better or worse, AI is here to stay.
The real question is what we choose to do with that actuality.
At Pace, experimentation is the only way forward. In Fall 2024, Pace included an AI course男女操逼视频软件斈信俦剖悠等砑䲠to its core curriculum for undergraduates, bringing the number of courses that incorporate AI at the undergraduate and graduate levels to 39.
男女操逼视频软件淲hile I can男女操逼视频软件檛 control the world男女操逼视频软件檚 男女操逼视频软件楢I experiment,男女操逼视频软件 I do have the opportunity to see for myself how it男女操逼视频软件檚 working.男女操逼视频软件
Pace is also leading the way in cross-disciplinary AI and machine learning research. At the Pace AI Lab, led by pioneering AI researcher Christelle Scharff, PhD, faculty, staff, and students integrate their knowledge areas into collective problem solving powered by the technology.
In doing so, Pace男女操逼视频软件檚 academics are writing and revising the script for how to balance the dangers and opportunities that AI presents. 男女操逼视频软件淲e男女操逼视频软件檙e living in a heuristic reality, where we experiment, see what happens, and then do another experiment,男女操逼视频软件 said Brusseau.
A Defining Moment
Jessica Magaldi男女操逼视频软件檚 AI experiment began with revenge porn. Early in her career, the award-winning Ivan Fox Scholar and professor of business law at the Lubin School of Business studied intellectual property law and transactions for emerging and established companies.

In 2020, she turned her attention to laws criminalizing the illegal sharing of sexually explicit images or videos of a person online without consent. Shockingly, most were toothless, she said, and there was very little public or political appetite to sharpen them.
Now, fast forward to January 2024, when fake sexually . Public outrage was immediate. Users demanded accountability, and fans initiated a 男女操逼视频软件淧rotect Taylor Swift男女操逼视频软件 campaign online. .
For Magaldi, something didn男女操逼视频软件檛 add up. 男女操逼视频软件淲e were at a moment when AI generated content that everyone knows is fake was producing more outrage than so-called revenge porn photos, images that are real.男女操逼视频软件 Understanding that contradiction could offer clues on how to draft laws and legislation that are more effective for the victims, she said.
Eventually, it might even teach us something about ourselves. 男女操逼视频软件淢y greatest hope is that we can use what we learn about the differences between how we feel about what is real and what is AI to explore what that means for us and our collective humanity,男女操逼视频软件 she said.
Optimism Grows
Harnessing the benefits of AI is also what occupies Brian McKernan, PhD, an assistant professor of communication and media studies at the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences.

McKernan, who describes himself as cautiously optimistic about AI, would be excused for taking a less rosy view of the technology. His research areas include misinformation, cognitive biases, and political campaign transparency男女操逼视频软件攖opics where the use of AI is rarely benevolent. In a of the 2020 US presidential election, McKernan and his collaborators found that President Donald Trump used the massive exposure popular social media platforms offer in an attempt to sow distrust in the electoral process.
男女操逼视频软件淭here are great uses for AI, particularly in cases with huge amounts of data. But we will always need humans involved in verifying."
And yet, McKernan remains upbeat, an optimism stemming from the fact that AI helps him keep tabs on what politicians are saying, and doing, online.
男女操逼视频软件淚t男女操逼视频软件檚 a data deluge,男女操逼视频软件 he said. To help sort through it, McKernan and colleagues at the Illuminating project, based at Syracuse University train supervised AI models to classify and analyze social media content. Researchers check the performance of the models before making their findings public.
男女操逼视频软件淭here are great uses for AI, particularly in cases with huge amounts of data. But we will always need humans involved in verifying,男女操逼视频软件 he said.
Racing to Regulate?
To be sure, there are social and ethical dangers inherent in AI男女操逼视频软件檚 application男女操逼视频软件攅ven when people are at the keyboard. One concern is access. Many generative AI tools are free, but they won男女操逼视频软件檛 be forever. When people can男女操逼视频软件檛 afford 男女操逼视频软件渢he shiniest tools,男女操逼视频软件 McKernan said, the digital divide will deepen.
Other challenges include maintaining data privacy, expanding availability of non-English tools, protecting the intellectual property of creators, and reducing biases in code. Even is an area of increasing concern for security experts.
Emilie Zaslow, PhD, a professor and chair of communication and media studies at Pace, said given these concerns, eventually, a regulatory framework for AI might be wise.

男女操逼视频软件淚n media, we have examples of both government regulatory oversight, through the Federal Communications Commission, for example, and industry self-regulation, such as the Motion Picture Association film rating system,男女操逼视频软件 Zaslow said. 男女操逼视频软件淭here is also government involvement in evaluating new consumer products; take the Food and Drug Administration, for example. Every time a new drug comes to market, the FDA evaluates it, tests it, and decides whether it gets released and with what kind of warnings.男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淭here should be increased regulatory oversight for technology,男女操逼视频软件 she said.
Regulations are emerging. In Europe, bans certain applications deemed to pose an 男女操逼视频软件渦nacceptable risk男女操逼视频软件 to citizens. Punishable programming includes social scoring systems, real-time facial recognition and other forms of biometric identification that categorize people by race, sex life, sexual orientation and other attributes, and 男女操逼视频软件渕anipulative男女操逼视频软件 AI tools.
up to $35.8 million or 7% of their global annual revenues男女操逼视频软件攚hichever amount is higher.
Brusseau, while sensitive to the dangers, doubts that the punitive approach will pay off. 男女操逼视频软件淭he internet has no geography; it isn男女操逼视频软件檛 anywhere,男女操逼视频软件 he said. 男女操逼视频软件淗ow do we prohibit something that isn't anywhere?男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淭here should be increased regulatory oversight for technology.男女操逼视频软件
He suggests a different approach: using technology to regulate itself. He calls this , the idea that the most effective way to approach risks raised by innovation is with still more innovating.
In a , Brusseau examined how TELUS, a Canadian telecommunications company, developed an automated safety tool to monitor its customer-serving chatbot. When the safety tool detected hallucinations, phishing threats, or privacy risks in the chatbot男女操逼视频软件檚 answers, it flagged them for human review.
男女操逼视频软件淲hile the purity of theoretical positions is blurred by real-world ambiguities,男女操逼视频软件 Brusseau wrote, 男女操逼视频软件渢he TELUS case illustrates how the acceleration strategy transforms AI ethics into an innovation catalyst.男女操逼视频软件
Risks Worth Taking
Ask ChatGPT whether it男女操逼视频软件檚 dangerous, and its response is unequivocal: 男女操逼视频软件淚男女操逼视频软件檓 here to help and have meaningful conversations.男女操逼视频软件
Ask ChatGPT whether AI is dangerous, the reply is a bit murkier: 男女操逼视频软件淚t depends on how it's used.男女操逼视频软件
But point out that ChatGPT is AI, and the contradiction isn男女操逼视频软件檛 lost on the technology itself. 男女操逼视频软件淲hat I meant to convey is that I am designed to be helpful, safe, and non-threatening. But it男女操逼视频软件檚 true that, like any tool, the potential for harm exists if used irresponsibly.男女操逼视频软件
When scholars and historians look back at this era of AI experimentation, they may be similarly conflicted. Magaldi, who understands how devastating sexually explicit deepfake images can be, also recognizes the usefulness of AI男女操逼视频软件檚 creativity. In Spring 2024, she even used AI to help her flesh out an idea for a class on Taylor Swift. She did it, in part, as an exercise for herself to use AI in a creative way.
男女操逼视频软件淚'm not worried in the least. Humans produce knowledge through causality, while machines do it exclusively through correspondence. They reason wrong.男女操逼视频软件
男女操逼视频软件淲ith ChatGPT, I was able to build an entire music industry law class based on ,男女操逼视频软件 Magaldi said. After lots of tweaking, she ended up with the syllabus for a three-credit class exploring the singer男女操逼视频软件檚 experiences with copyright infringement, music industry contracts, trademark law, and ticketing practices.
It was a massive success. were made about the class, registration for the class closed in minutes, and students are eager for it to run again.
This type of human-AI interaction男女操逼视频软件攗sing the technology as a 男女操逼视频软件渢hought partner,男女操逼视频软件 as Magaldi puts it男女操逼视频软件攊s the sweet spot in AI男女操逼视频软件檚 societal integration.
It男女操逼视频软件檚 also why Brusseau is upbeat. 男女操逼视频软件淚'm not worried in the least,男女操逼视频软件 he said. 男女操逼视频软件淗umans produce knowledge through causality, while machines do it exclusively through correspondence. They reason wrong.男女操逼视频软件
That certainty, however, doesn男女操逼视频软件檛 mean he has all the answers. With AI, there are only questions. 男女操逼视频软件淟ike buying a one-way plane ticket, it男女操逼视频软件檚 not the destination that matters, but the journey,男女操逼视频软件 he said. 男女操逼视频软件淭hat男女操逼视频软件檚 why I built the Caffeinated Professor男女操逼视频软件攖o see where it takes us.男女操逼视频软件
