SHARE

The AI and The Humanities seminar, hosted by the Northern Plains Ethics Institute, School of Humanities and College of Arts and Sciences, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 1, from 11 a.m. to noon in Minard Hall room 230.  

Blake A. Klinkner, an assistant professor of law at UND’s School of Law, will present “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Higher Education.”

In this presentation, Klinkner will discuss the ways in which rapidly advancing artificial intelligence will impact the future of higher education, and how AI will change higher education as early as the college application and admissions process. Klinkner will then address topics including the teaching of AI in the higher education curriculum, the training and use of AI among students and AI on examinations.

Whether educators like it or not, AI is already here, and it will only become more prevalent as it advances, and therefore educators would be best served by learning more about AI and understanding the ways in which they may acknowledge and incorporate AI into higher education. 

Klinkner teaches civil procedure, cybersecurity law, law and technology and law practice management. Prior to joining UND Law, Klinkner served as visiting assistant professor of law at Washburn University School of Law, where he taught evidence, academic support and bar exam preparation.

Klinkner has authored the “Tech Tips” column in the Wyoming State Bar journal since 2015. Klinkner completed his undergraduate degrees at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, his master’s degree at Northern Illinois University and his juris doctor at the University of Utah School of Law. The graduating class of Washburn University School of Law recently named Klinkner as the 2022-23 Professor of the Year. 

This event is sponsored by the NPEI, NDSU School of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, the Dakota Digital Academy and Tri-College University.

The presentation also will be available online on Zoom:
