SUMMARY:AI and the applied philosophy of language: Explorations for education and translation
DESCRIPTION:Amel Abderrahmane MPhil ’26 presents highlights from her COA master’s thesis. \nHer work is a transdisciplinary study at the intersections of language learning\, philosophy of language\, translation studies\, education policy\, lexicometry\, and AI. It provides an exploration of how to integrate machine translation pitfalls\, language/culture pedagogy\, AI human-centric frameworks\, and AI educational policies into a human-ecological analysis of the impact of AI on different landscapes to conceptualize how language pedagogy can ethically and effectively navigate the current digital shift. \nThis event is open to all.

SUMMARY:Coping with AI in our Communities
DESCRIPTION:Current research on problems of coping with AI is the subject of four weekly forums\, Oct. 25 through November 15. Speakers will explore both local and global challenges and emerging strategies for responding in our own lives and communities. \nAdvanced AI systems are behaving increasingly less like obedient tools and more like insubordinate employees\, independent agents\, threatening competitors\, and manipulators. As they spread throughout our society\, how can we benefit from helpful AI while safeguarding our families\, companies\, and communities? How can we keep our futures human? Researchers and companies have been trying to engineer control over AI machines while at the same time trying to make them dramatically more capable at engineering than humans are. This forum explores alternative approaches drawing on peace studies\, human ecology\, and diverse spiritual and faith traditions. \nThe themes for the four forums are:\n\nOctober 25: Challenges and Strategies for Coping with AI in Peaceful\, Ecological\, Spiritual Ways\nNovember 1: Negotiating our Futures with AI: A Peace Studies Approach\nNovember 8: Reclaiming Our Digital Commons in Maine: Human-Ecological Approaches to Community Empowerment\nNovember 15: A Catholic\, a Quaker\, and a Buddhist Walk into an AI Chat: Spiritual Approaches to AI\n\nThe last session of the forum will feature a panel discussion on “Reclaiming Our Digital Commons in Maine: Human Ecological Approaches to Community Empowerment”. The panel will include: Kate Meyer\, author of The EduProtocol Field Guide: AI Literacy Edition and a teacher in the Mount Desert Island Regional School System; Lou Jones-Rodriguez\, IT lead at MDIRSS;  Hien Nguyen\, Cody van Heerden Chair in Economics & Quantitative Social Sciences at College of the Atlantic; and a COA student\, Adi Gamache ’27. \n  \nThe series is free and open to all. Pre-registration is required for online attendance. Sessions are held on Sundays at 6 p.m. in Room 102 of the Davis Center for Human Ecology and streamed live via zoom at: https://coa.zoom.us/j/3613430016 (Meeting ID: 361 343 0016). For further information\, contact gcox@coa.edu or 207-460-1163. \n  \nA recording of highlights from the first forum in the series is now available.
