Abstract / Artist's Statement
With a considerable rise in the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI) within the past few years, and the increase in general awareness of and investment in AI following the success of ChatGPT and subsequent generative AI platforms, ensuring that accurate information about AI is in public circulation is vital to ensuring its effective and ethical adoption. We, the researchers, have identified a lack of adequate understanding regarding the impact of AI on the general public, specifically as it relates to careers and education. This research project seeks to put together a collection of information including previously performed research and new interviews conducted by the researchers and release it to the public in the form of a short podcast. We believe that for students in particular, knowing what to expect regarding how AI will impact careers in the coming years will help them make decisions related to their chosen majors, careers, and additional education (certificates, etc.) that could provide them with more confidence in their futures. The results of the research will be made available in three capacities: the first will be a presentation to UMCUR. This research is being performed as part of the researchers' capstone course for the Franke GLI program, and all projectes are presented to UMCUR. Second, we will likely publish the results in written form to ScholarWorks. Third, as mentioned previously, and the method considered the primary objective of this project, we will release a short podcast to the public.
