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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
