Rhett Allain

Rhett Allain returns to Lab Out Loud for his 5th time to talk about ChatGPT, a novel artificial intelligence chat tool from OpenAI. In the last few months, Rhett has also been exploring how to use ChatGPT to see how it can solve physics homework, serve as a suitable teaching assistant and even write code. Rhett shares his experience as we think about the utility of emerging AI tools and how they might challenge educators to teach differently.

An Associate Professor of physics at Southeastern Louisiana University, Rhett is also a physics blogger for Wired and Medium, and creates videos for YouTube.
