CAFÉ Update February 05, 2024
05 February 2024DEANS AND DIRECTORS RETREAT – KEYNOTE
The theme of our 2024 conferences is “Invent the Future.” We asked Dr. Tim Dasey to address this topic in terms of culinary arts education. Here is the overview of the keynote.
Culinary Arts Education in an AI World: Frosting or Flambe?
The good news is AI can't taste and robots are less likely to replace your workers than in other fields. That doesn't mean you'll be unaffected. Whether the art of teaching, cooking, running a kitchen, or managing a business, AI provides both opportunity and challenges. Academic integrity is a tactical consideration; Our presenter gets us to think of the strategic issues.
Dr. Tim Dasey, author of the groundbreaking book: Wisdom Factories will delve into the world of Artificial Intelligence and encourage us to begin to think about how it will impact what, how, when, and where we teach the next generation of cooks, chefs, restaurateurs, and food professionals.

CAFÉ is helping educators create a CHANGE MINDSET in culinary education. Care to share? In conjunction with GMC’s story “Discovering a Willingness to Motive and Change,” we asked readers to post their wisdom and experience. Look at Instagram or Facebook for these questions:
- How do you create a culture of change in your program?
- How can you engage your colleagues in change?
- What tactics do you use to connect with students and has it changed?
- What tactics do you use to motivate students and has it changed?
Answer in comments and don’t forget to put the number of the question you are answering. GMC will share the insight in the March edition.
Let’s keep the conversation going!
