The Ethical Use of A.I. Tools Like ChatGPT
|
ChatGPT is an A.I. program that can create original responses to prompts from human users. These can range from an answer to a question, to longer written works like an article or speech. One congressman recently used it to do just that, writing a brief speech which he read on the house floor, as a way to demonstrate to his colleagues about the power of ChatGPT and similar tools. Anna Marbut*, professor of practice in USD’s online applied artificial intelligence master’s program, can talk about software like ChatGPT, some of the ethical standards that may be forming around them, and ways they can be used to streamline our work and improve our everyday lives. *Zoom interviews only

Economic Outlook for 2023
|
A recent report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis shed some new light on the state of the American economy. It showed consumer spending grew in the final quarter of 2022. That, in spite of inflation spikes throughout the year, and concerns about a recession. Those worries are still lingering, though, with the Fed expected to continue to raise interest rates, and the impact that could have on manufacturing and the housing market. Alan Gin, associate professor of economics, can talk about the outlook for 2023, and some of the key factors to keep an eye on.
