School of Public Health Faculty Member Explores Using AI to Enhance Biostatistics Learning - Sam Fahmy, Georgia State University

Using a mini-grant from Georgia State University’s Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Online Education, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics Karen Nielsen is developing course materials that seek to prepare students to ethically and effectively use generative artificial intelligence in a range of quantitative subjects. “I have not spoken to a single instructor who has not grappled with generative AI in their teaching,” said Nielsen, of Georgia State's School of Public Health. “Maintaining academic honesty when using generative AI will be one aspect of this project, but I also want students to be able to leverage generative AI for self-guided learning.”
