Comments
The recent developments of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools holds the potential to enhance all aspects of the teaching and learning process while also impacting the administrative and day-to-day operations of higher education institutions and libraries. In addition, the demand for college graduates to have high technical skills, including AI skills, are expected to rise exponentially. To ensure that our students are best prepared for a future-proof workforce, higher education institutions and academic libraries cannot shun AI. Instead, these organizations must balance the need to maximize these rapidly evolving technologies while also conscientiously addressing the ethical concerns they bring. In order to ensure the responsible and fair utilization of these tools, institutions and libraries must develop policies to encourage their ethical use.
This presentation was given at the "Generative AI in Libraries (GAIL) Virtual Conference" which was held July 11-13, 2024.
