    Abstract:  In this April edition of the JSDSE/CAUSE webinar series, we highlight the recent article A New Era of Learning: Considerations for ChatGPT as a Tool to Enhance Statistics and Data Science Education. ChatGPT is one of many generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools that has emerged recently, creating controversy in the education community with concerns about its potential to be used for plagiarism and to undermine students' ability to think independently. This talk focuses on the potential of ChatGPT as an educational tool for statistics and data science. It encourages readers to consider the history of trepidation surrounding introducing new technology in the classroom, such as the calculator. The presenters explore the possibility of leveraging ChatGPT's capabilities in statistics and data science education, providing examples of how ChatGPT can aid in developing course materials and suggestions for how educators can prompt students to interact with ChatGPT responsibly.
    The webinar is free but pre-registration is required. Register at https://www.causeweb.org/cause/webinar/jsdse/2025-04
