Demian Hommel, Associate Professor of Teaching in the College of Earth, Oceanic, and Atmospheric Sciences, is working across units at OSU to interpret and move forward with the university’s AI guidelines for teaching and learning through invited talks, consultations, and applied classroom examples. His fellowship also includes public-facing scholarship on AI pedagogy, including a forthcoming Faculty Focus article (“Beyond Bans: Rebuilding Teaching for a World With AI”) and a CTL blog interview series, Stories of AI @ OSU, highlighting innovative and reflective faculty practices.
Anna Guasco, Assistant Professor of Marine Studies in the College of Liberal Arts, is organizing the "Critical AI Literacy in Practice and Community" online speaker series this term. The series highlights community efforts to raise knowledge about, and respond to, social and environmental issues related to AI, particularly around data centers. She is also working on a research project analyzing efforts to use AI to communicate with whales.
