1st session- Lab

This session's online discussion question refers to the 3-dimensional framework discussed in the lectures and in the following reading:

"Towards a Conceptual Framework for ICT for Development: ...the... 'Cube Framework'” & original pdf version

We'll start by walking the talk of AI and will use a generative AI to explore this 5,600 word-long academic article. 

Feel free to use the Large Language Model (LLM) tool of your choice as long as it can create text summaries. Some of the popular ones that can handle long texts for free, are

https://bard.google.com/chat (by Google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bard_(chatbot)), or

https://chat.openai.com/ (by OpenAI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT) or

https://claude.ai/ (by Anthropic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic#Claude) or

or https://copilot.microsoft.comLinks to an external site. (whose data-protected version is accessible with UC Davis login). 

You are likely asked to create an account. 

Then go to this online version of the article (which got rid of citations and other notes) and copy-paste the text from the beginning until

"— — — — — END OF ARTICLE — — — — —"

Paste it into the LLM's chat window, and do NOT press return YET. Create a new line (if you're not in one already). You can do this by pressing "Shift+Enter" (similar to how you create new lines in most messengers...). If you accidentally sent the article with plain ENTER, just create "New Chat" top right. 

P.S. please be aware that Generative pre-trained Transformer Large Language Models (as we use here) "generate" the response. It would be extremely unlikely that you'll get precisely the same response as someone else. In general, there is really no need to copy-paste from anyone else: why would you? We ask you to copy-paste from AI, which will hopefully fine-tune your skills to collaborate with AI!
