Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT can be used in positive ways to support science learning. When used appropriately, AI tools can support students as they engage with course materials and help them develop self-directed learning skills. Such tools can provide just-in-time support through immediate feedback and assistance. It can also potentially replicate the real-time dialogue that takes place at the lab bench and assist students with troubleshooting experimental procedures. During this microbrew presentation, we will explore the ways in which artificial intelligence can be used productively to support student learning, with a particular focus on the science laboratory. We will interact with ChatGPT during our session and see what it can, and cannot, do. We will also consider the ways in which AI can promote inclusivity for multiple modalities and populations.
