Associate Professor of Digital and Computational Studies Carrie Diaz Eaton was part of a rich discussion about AI on “Maine Calling,” Maine Public’s weekday radio program, on April 7. Diaz Eaton discussed the widely varying attitudes of her students to AI and talked about her course “Calling Bull: Data Literacy and Information Science,” which she’ll be teaching in Fall 2025. It’s a course she teaches regularly, but in recent years, discussion of AI has become a more substantive portion of that course. “Because you’ve got misinformation being created at a scale, on purpose or not,” Diaz Eaton told listeners. Panelists included Michael Donihue, interim director at Colby’s Davis Institute for AI, Bowdoin’s Fernando Nascimento, assistant professor, digital and computational studies, and from the Roux Institute, Berkeley Almand-Hunter, technical director of partner products.
