Conversations with Conservationists: Using AI to Aid Conservation Education
Presented by Derek Uhey, School of Forestry
AI can allow students to go beyond readings to engage with famous conservationists, asking them questions about modern day issues. In this presentation I’ll explore how successful these AI lessons were and student attitudes towards using AI in conservation. Overall, students valued learning AI tools and having conversations with AI generated conservationists but had ethical concerns about using AI in conservation and education. As a class we formed a code of conduct to guide use of AI in the classroom and the field of conservation.
