UDST hosts a panel discussion on integrating artificial Intelligence into teaching and learning

Doha, Qatar: University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) hosted an insightful panel discussion on 'Integrating AI into Teaching and Learning’, as part of its Foundation Program Webinar Series. The online forum, comprised of education strategists, and faculty from major universities in Qatar, addressed the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) in education – with particular emphasis on the ground-breaking AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI. Ms. Krista Jack, Foundation Program Unit Manager at UDST, said, “The goal of our webinar series is to create a space for conversation, learning, and collaboration that will ultimately help educators harness the power of AI for the benefit of students, and for the education system in Qatar. ChatGPT has been viewed by many as a disruptor, but disruption in education is not new. We have seen the transformative effects of computers and calculators – remarkable tools that revolutionised the way we teach and learn, and brought tremendous advancements. AI in education is here to stay; therefore, the key is not to be apprehensive, but to embrace the potential of these tools to strengthen our teaching, and enhance the learning experience given to our students.” The
