Brooke Gross is a Health Sciences Librarian at Western Kentucky University. She has previously presented on AI Literacy and took part in a Generative AI Community of Practice last fall.
This session will offer a few key steps for building relationships with instructors or community leaders in order to expand artificial intelligence education. One of the biggest challenges facing librarians and educators when it comes to artificial intelligence is determining where, when, and how it should be used without infringing on copyright or putting users' data at risk. Additionally, because AI is evolving so rapidly, the tools and best practices are ever-changing. This makes it more difficult to acquire dedicated expertise. Therefore, we must learn how to quickly adapt and reassess in order to successfully stay on top of these technological advancements. The purpose of this session is to help librarians determine what basic knowledge they need in order to develop AI initiatives and how they can collaborate with others to see them through. The presenter will speak from their experiences using AI in college classrooms and initiating conversations about AI ethics in academia, highlighting ways in which librarians who have not yet delved deeply into the world of artificial intelligence can still facilitate important learning and discussion.
