The AUCA committee selected Abdullah Nazari’s project “AI Uprising: Challenges and Opportunities” for its community-facing events. Mr. Nazari’s workshop aimed to bring together instructors and students in the humanities and computer sciences to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements in AI technology and its potential applications in academics. The workshop included twenty-five students from AUCA and University of Central Asia, Bishkek and Naryn campuses, and was held on the campus of the latter. It provided hands-on training in the use of ChatGPT, StableDiffusion, Midjourney, Dalle-2, and others. The workshop also included several discussion sessions, moderated by the workshop leaders, where participants could exchange ideas about the uses of AI on campus.

By the end of the program, students had developed an in-depth understanding of AI and its current position in the era of technological advancements. The AI Uprising project provided students with a comprehensive understanding of AI technology and its potential applications in the academic sector. The hands-on training sessions and discussion platforms allowed students to gain practical experience with AI tools and share ideas on how to leverage AI for enhanced learning outcomes. The program closed with Abdullah Nazari emphasizing the importance of spreading awareness and helping people adapt to new technological advancements.

The use of text-generating AI will continue to be a hot topic, and the EHCN at AUCA will continue to look for new ways to engage the student body with AI. This workshop can serve as a model for the future, and it shows us some of the people we can continue to go to to talk about AI text generation.
