at the forefront of STEM education experiencing the first tides of thischange. An example of such a trend is the course Design of Machine Elements, a mainstay ofMechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) curricula, which embodies many algorithms thatintegrate a combination of scientific topics and industry protocols. In this work in progress, weassigned a class of 62 MAE machine design students to write computer codes that implementseveral required inputs to generate design parameters for shafts used for specific powertransmission parameters. The students were also asked to explore the applicability of an openartificial intelligence interface, such as ChatGPT, to help develop a multi-step design code. Aftergenerating and verifying the AI

integrated into ScribeAR butother integration projects are possible. For example, ESPnet [21] is also a common speech to textplatform that is an end-to-end speech processing toolkit. It includes various applications such asspeech recognition, text-to-speech, speech translation, and speech enhancement.Recent advances in Large Language Models will also provide new opportunities for inclusiveconversational approaches. For example, a student project might use the new ChatGPT API thatas of May 2023 is now available as part of Microsoft Azure cloud services, to providesummarization or other textual transformation of a transcript [24]t.8.

ofcomputing but nearly every field of science and human endeavor[5]”. Some in the industry haveframed them as the first steps toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), meaning systems thatthink more like humans in numerous ways. Like humans, AGI will have the ability to ‘think’about many things across many domains, requiring different recall of datasets and intuition.This literature survey describes how policies around responsible governance are taking shape asstrong AI technologies emerge, and public interaction with them expands exponentially. InNovember of 2022, the first generative AI (GenAI) ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, was widelyreleased to the public. Earlier versions had been in development and were tested and used foryears but the public
