Artificial Intelligence & Society Pre-College Camp

Work, Ethics, and Relationships in the Era of AI

This experience brings students in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade of high school into the debate over the profound questions of artificial intelligence (AI) and the changes it brings to society. We will engage new technologies and consider how to use them for a better world.

The Camp is on the Manhattan College campus, conveniently located in New York City. Campers have complete access to Manhattan College, including our classrooms, labs, and library.

The Camp program runs from Monday, July 15, to Thursday, July 18, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Activity Descriptions:

The arrival of AI assistants like Siri and the explosion of AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E have unsettled our notion of what it means to be human and how we will live together in a technological future. We will work with generative AI like ChatGPT and discuss how AI will affect life in the home, workplace, and economy.

AI technologies can affect our entire lives, everything from how we work to how we talk with one another. Through interactive discussion and analysis, participants will grow their understanding of how AI is already critical to social interaction and how it may revolutionize our expectations for the future. Specific areas of debate include AI at home, school, work, and religion; how AI changes the economy and politics; and how we will build new kinds of human-to-human and human-to-machine relationships in the future.
