Generative AI Study Group
[Will edit later – for now, I am copying and pasting from the schedule google doc as a placeholder.] We are a short-term (3 sessions) interdisciplinary study group exploring generative AI. Launched by Yu Jung Han (From the LiDA center) and Yunfan Gong (doctoral candidate at Warner), this group aims to create opportunities for the Warner community and beyond to learn more about this emerging technology.
This very low-key, casual study group meets three times per semester to discuss various topics on AI, and is open to any faculty, staff, and graduate students
It is completely up to you when to join and when not. If you find a topic interesting, feel free to join for that session! 🙂 So maybe one semester you would attend all three, and another semester, none. That is totally fine – we never take attendance.

Are you interested in joining the group?
