Title:
Learning new subjects with Gen AI: AI tutoring and the search for grounded truth
Abstract:
This talk and demonstration will provide an overview of research into the use of gen AI to assist learning at undergrad, graduate school, and professional school levels. It will discuss experiments with a growing number of gen AI systems using custom instructions, priming, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques, and prompt engineering to test Gen AI’s functionality in learning new areas of study and reviewing prior learning, and in minimizing confabulations (hallucinations) that deviate from grounded truth.
