Beyond Efficiency: Ethical and Sustainable AI Use in Higher Education
AI tools offer powerful opportunities for innovation, but they also come with ethical and environmental trade-offs. This interactive workshop invites faculty and staff to move beyond productivity-focused conversations and critically examine the broader impact of AI use. Participants will explore issues such as bias, authorship, data privacy, and the hidden environmental costs of AI, while developing practical strategies for responsible, efficient, and intentional use in teaching and research.
