Collaboratively Discovering AI

In-Studio AI Jam

Do you have a lingering question about AI, or perhaps a "riff" of an idea for your classroom that you’re ready to amplify? Drop in for an open In-Studio AI Jam: Collaboratively Discovering AI session!

The first thirty minutes of each session will provide attendees with an overview of how large language models (LLMs) work and the basics of TerrierGPT and Google Workspace with Notebook LM. Whether you want to drop in for ten minutes to troubleshoot a specific prompt or stay for the full session to build a complete prototype with our team, the floor is yours.

This is your chance to get hands-on with Terrier GPT, explore new tools, and navigate the spontaneous, unstructured workflow of AI in a low-pressure environment. These sessions are open to all BU faculty and staff.
