Enhancing Research and Historical Studies with Artificial IntelligenceOver the past several semesters, Fabio Montella, Associate Professor of Library Services
and Adjunct Associate Professor of History, had given students in his history courses
a 7-step research paper assignment designed to eliminate academic dishonestly while promoting strong research skills. Though this process
produced positive results, he quickly realized that it had become “tainted” by the
emergence of Artificial Intelligence. To address this concern, Fabio revamped the
assignment to make AI a central component of the process. The initial results have shown great success and promise for future growth. In this presentation, he shared his pre-AI and post-AI approaches while examining
both.
AI in Digital Arts focused on what SCCC faculty members are doing to incorporate AI as a tool in digital
media creation. Ralph Masullo, MFA, Assistant Chair of Communication and Visual Arts/
Assistant Professor of Photography at the Eastern Campus, together with faculty from
the other campuses, discussed best practices and ethical applications of the technology.
