How did an “old dog” signal processing professor approach learning and teaching the “new tricks” of generative artificial intelligence (AI)? This article overviews my recent experience in preparing and delivering a new course called “Computational Creativity,” reflecting on the methods I adopted compared to a traditional equations-on-a-whiteboard course. The technical material is qualitatively different from traditional signal processing, and the types of students who took the class and their approach to learning were different too. I learned a lot from the experience but also came away with bigger questions about the role of educators in the age of generative AI.

信号处理器教授生成人工智能 [SP Education]


一位“老狗”信号处理教授是如何学习和教授生成人工智能（AI）的“新技巧”的？本文概述了我最近准备和讲授一门名为“计算创造力”的新课程的经验，反思了我与传统白板方程课程相比所采用的方法。技术材料与传统信号处理有本质上的不同，参加课程的学生类型和学习方法也不同。我从这次经历中学到了很多东西，但也对教育工作者在生成人工智能时代的作用产生了更大的疑问。
