For those attending in person, we will have lunch and then everyone, including those who will be attending through Zoom, will discuss some of the issues that the task force will be focused on in the near future. At this time, we will establish of number of working groups that will focus on a number of issues, such as how to integrate AI with teaching, opportunities for grant writing, the potential pitfalls of AI in education, and various others. Following this discussion, we will attend the second installment of the webinar series entitled "ChatGPT and Generative AI in Education" that the Florida Virtual Campus is hosting.

The second meeting of the task force will consist of a roundtable on June 15, beginning at 11 am and will conclude by 12:30 pm. Dr. Melanie Mitchell, a professor at the Santa Fe Institute, will discuss some of her well-known work in artificial intelligence systems. Following her talk, Dr. Mitchell will be available to answer questions from the task force concerning Open AI and its incorporation into education. We will also have Max Petrenko, Principal Research Scientist at Amazon, talk to us about the industry's view of Large Language Models and their inherent abilities, limitations, and risks. Finally, our own Dr. Christian Hempelmann, Director of the Ontological Semantic Technology Laboratory, will present "How do Large Language Models work-in simple terms". Following the presentations of our two outside speakers and Dr. Hempelmann, we will have an open discussion with questions and answers from the members of the task force.
