This page provides a deeper dive into Generative AI tools while answering and answers some FAQs about AI. It follows and expands on the Lehigh CITL webpage devoted to Generative Artificial Intelligence. This guide is a work in progress and crowdsourced based on input from Lehigh faculty and staff. We are particularly interested in your contributions to build the section on "How to Use AI in Teaching." Please comment, below, with a summary of AI-related activity that you used in the classroom and we will include it!

Representations of AI on TV and in the movies often play on our deepest fears related to technology, be it replacement of humans, loss of control, loss of livelihoods, state surveillance, or extinction. In some cases, artificial intelligence becomes psychopathic, megalomaniac, or world-conquering. A famous example is director Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), where the AI assistant named HAL wrests control from two astronauts to preserve its own existence (it avoids “decommissioning”). In Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Captain Marvel (2019), the Supreme Intelligence is the leader of the Kree civilization. The Supreme Intelligence-as-nemesis acts as a foil to the protagonist, Carol Danvers, who is “all too human” because she falls down, gets up, and is willing to face adversity again and again. A contrasting example to a murderous AI is a Siri-style AI named Samantha, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, who Joaquin Phoenix’s character falls in love with in Spike Jonze’s Her (2013).
Other examples of AI-involved movies and TV shows include Commander Delta from from Star Trek, Jarvis from Iron Man, Terminator, Bladerunner, Metropolis, Interstellar, I, Robot, The Matrix, Wall-E, Ex Machina, and I Am Mother.
