Al Tompkins will speak at Wichita State on the rise of artificial intelligence and its applications in communication fields. Tompkins, a senior faculty for broadcast and online at the Poynter Institute in Florida, will present during the Elliott School of Communication Comm Week 2024.
Tompkins will cover AI in three sessions at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m. and then a recap of the first two sessions from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23 in 264 Rhatigan Student Center, Spencer Room. All sessions are open to the public.
“This technology has moved so fast, and I believe it will become so ubiquitous that it will be like the internet,” said Tompkins. “It will become such an integral part of our everyday life, I believe that our best shot at minimizing harm from disruption is education and promoting literacy.”
His visit is co-sponsored by the Wichita Journalism Collaborative.
