Academic Librarian Perspectives on ChatGPT, Online
There is a plethora of resources available to discover more about machine learning and Large Language Models (LLMs). When ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022, there was an absolute storm in publications related to higher ed in which they mourned the death of the essay, predicted mass cheating, and other big claims. Some went as far as to ban the technology. As a first-year librarian, I see that this technology is undoubtedly going to shape my career; therefore, I have approached ChatGPT with a cautious curiosity. Shunning ChatGPT entirely is not the answer, but neither is an uncritical embrace. This talk will go over some basics, the potential use cases of ChatGPT, and ethical considerations we must think about as academic librarians. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Literacy as a concept will also be touched upon, so that we can help our students navigate this new technology not only in higher ed, but in their lives moving forward.
