Survey: Pilot Study: IP and AI

Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is enjoying their time at Cs! My name is Morgan Banville and I am an Assistant Professor of Humanities at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I am piloting a study based on a webinar I recently conducted with GSOLE. This pilot study is IRB approved, and responses will assist in determining my research trajectory aimed at better understanding how instructors envision intellectual property impacting students, as well as the general public (those outside of higher education). I am particularly interested in how instructors communicate with students about generative artificial intelligence’s impacts on intellectual property.

Thank you for your time and consideration! Here is the link to the survey: https://uri.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_02JNvNjdmQmke8e

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns,

Morgan Banville
