In this lecture, we'll explore both the opportunities and significant challenges AI introduces into academic settings. We'll discuss how AI tools, such as ChatGPT and other generative models, can transform research practices, classroom teaching, and student learning experiences.

How can artificial intelligence help us understand the Arctic? In this talk, we’ll explore how machine learning is used to analyze satellite data from sea ice, helping us measure sea ice thickness even during summer. This approach provides valuable insights into the changing polar environment.

The increased global demand for critical minerals has renewed interest in deep-sea mining. But what do we know about the deep-sea ecosystem? Could deep-sea mining have significant impacts for the marine environment? Find out when we take a brief dive into the basics of deep-sea mining, its potential impacts, and the technology used to study one of the largest marine ecosystems on our planet.

When ChatGPT was released for the public, for me it came as a shock. I wanted to urgently know how useful it was and how influential it could be. I saw how it was marketed as being able to give advice to people and wondered about the implications. We conducted a series of studies investigating AI generated advice. In the talk I will explain what we found.
