Event Description: 

AI is not new. However, Generative Artificial Intelligence has stormed on to the World Stage and continues to make rapid advancements that are altering jobs and enabling the creation of artefacts using new methods and processes. The ability to create artefacts - words, pictures, video - that appear real but are not may provide challenges for evaluators. The panel will present some thoughts on the challenges and benefits of generative AI from their different perspectives. There will be time for questions. Join us for an interesting and thought provoking discussion!
