ChatGPT and AI – where do we go from here? The future of scientific writing

Will AI tools like ChatGPT fundamentally change the way we approach scientific texts? We will be discussing this question at the ETH Library’s 17:15 Colloquium on 20 April 2023.

Professor Noah Bubenhofer is a professor of German Linguistics at the University of Zurich. In his presentation, he will discuss the future of scientific writing from a media history and linguistic perspective.

Bubenhofer will address the question of whether or not tools like ChatGPT or Bard are simply the latest in an unbroken line of writing aids like Tipp-Ex or spellcheckers. Or will it force us to take an entirely new approach to texts and exams at schools and universities?

The ETH Library’s 17:15 Colloquium will be held on Thursday, 20 April 2023, at 5.15 p.m. at the ETH Zurich Zentrum Campus, Rämistrasse 101, 8092 Zurich, at the Collections and Archives Reading Room HG H 26, and can also be watched live online.

Event language: German
