  • Episode 3: Student Perspective
    Dec 15 2023
    Ever seen those YouTube ads promising "AI tools to boost your smarts" or "Ace your studies with AI"? Their pitches are very compelling, promising ChatGPT to function as a personal tutor by asking questions and fixing your answers. Students might jump at this opportunity to make their lives easier—after all, it's tempting to let AI handle the legwork and use your newfound time in more productive ways. But how are students at UZH actually using AI tools? Laura Galli and Maurus Wollensak join us to provide their perspective on AI in education and the impact it might have on their future careers. Laura Galli studies Art History and Theology and is the co-president of the student Association VSUZH where she is responsible for education policy.

  • Episode 2: The Future of Writing
    Dec 8 2023
    What if a vast language model crafts significant portions of a doctoral dissertation? We delve into this question and more with Noah Bubenhofer, Professor of German Linguistics at UZH, where he teaches digital language and culture. In his free time, he also blogs about the future of writing. Current AI applications like ChatGPT not only refine translations and rectify errors, but also generate ideas. Can this still be considered as original work of a student? In addition, they revolutionize our approach to writing, offering a tempting solution to the perennial struggle that writing entails for many of us. Is it still necessary for students to learn traditional writing skills when writing tasks can so easily be delegated? Our discussion of these questions leads us to broader themes involving educational traditions, pedagogical methodologies, and even fundamental aspects of human nature.
