​​In just the last couple of years, generative AI has significantly advanced and its use, and concerns about its use, has pervaded higher ed. Some skills, such as writing, are especially vulnerable to the capacities of generative AI. Join this roundtable to discuss the ethical considerations of generative AI such as Large Language Models and their impact on the future of writing and writing instruction, with an emphasis on courses for which the process of writing is essential to the student learning outcomes.

Participants are encouraged to read facilitator Danielle DeRise’s article on this very topic to prepare for the conversation.
