Hesburgh Lecture Series Recap

Wednesday April 2, 2025

Inspired by the late Father Hesburgh’s legacy of lifelong learning, the Hesburgh Lecture Series has brought University faculty to Notre Dame clubs and their local communities since 1986. Hesburgh Hesburgh Lectures are free and open to the public, and serve as an opportunity for Notre Dame clubs to share a piece of the Notre Dame campus and academic experience with alumni, and members of the Notre Dame family within their local community.

This week, our Notre Dame Club of Denver hosted Notre Dame Faculty Member John Behrens. John is the Director of Technology and Digital Studies Program and the Director of the Office of Digital Strategy in the College of Arts and Letters.

John spoke to an enthusiastic audience of nearly 60 attendees about Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work.

John shared with us how new advances in AI continue to bring a surprising array of opportunities but will also challenge how we work, play and interact with machines and each other. The nature of information, trust, social discourse, appropriate work and learning, and many other themes are changed in the light of the new AI. To address these challenges, we will need to bring to bear the full range of technology-informed liberal arts to face the psychological, economic, social, philosophical and educational impacts of these systems. 

We would like to thank John for traveling to Denver to share his insights. We would also like to thank Club Director Leslie McKay for all of her hard work and dedication in planning and executing this event, literally from soup to nuts. We would also like to thank our Communications Director, Rachel Mains for her photos as well as her pre and post event support. Finally, we would like to thank our host, Regis University, for partnering with our Club and especially Lisa Ostelund for her help and guidance.

What do you think, True or False?

1. ChatGPT is best described as a search engine on steroids

2. ChatGPT actually doesn't know anything, it just makes sentences regardless of truth

3. ChatGPT is great as a writing aid

4. ChatGPT is terrible at math but great at computer coding

5. New AI tools are too complicated right now but will be useful in 1-3 years

6. In addition to ChatGPT for text generation, there are also new AI tools for image, sound & video generation

Netflix Presents 

George Gipp: The Gipper

Netflix has released a groundbreaking documentary film that explores the life, legacy, and enduring impact of George “The Gipper” Gipp, one of the most celebrated and iconic figures in the storied history of Notre Dame football. The film, which was made in collaboration with Notre Dame University and several prominent historians and sports figures, provides an in-depth look at Gipp’s rise to fame, his remarkable contributions to the sport of college football, and the lasting mark he left on both his alma mater and the broader American sports landscape.

The Netflix documentary, George Gipp: The Gipper, was produced by a team of filmmakers dedicated to bringing Gipp’s story to life. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker John Hughes, who is known for his work in both sports and historical documentaries, the film combines archival footage, interviews, and dramatic reenactments to capture the essence of Gipp’s life and times. The production of the documentary was a multi-year process that involved meticulous research into Gipp’s life, career, and death. The filmmakers combed through historical records, including game footage, newspaper articles, and personal letters, to piece together a complete picture of the man behind the myth. They also consulted with experts on early 20th-century football history, including historians from Notre Dame University, to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of the story being told.
