The Leatherby Libraries, in collaboration with the Research Computing Team, are introducing a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Workshop series to inform faculty about the challenges and benefits of working with generative AI tools in the classroom.

First Workshop: “AI & Research: Strengths and Limitations of Generative AI,” will take place on Tuesday, November 7, at 1:00 p.m. Information Systems & Technology’s Senior Research Scientist Anna Alber and the Library’s Assistant Dean for Library Research & Data Services, Doug Dechow, will lead this workshop. Attendees will explore the strengths and limitations of AI tools, such as ChatGPT, in various research practices, including text summarization, language translation, and data analysis across academic disciplines. The workshop will also discuss the potential uses of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLM) in research practices across academic disciplines by reviewing known LLM limitations, such as hallucinations, and how to avoid them in practice.

Second Workshop: “AI & ChatGPT: Implications for Your Classroom,” will take place on Tuesday, November 14, at 1:00 p.m. The Library’s Assistant Dean for Library Research & Data Services, Doug Dechow, and the Chair of Research and Instructional Services, Taylor Greene, will lead this workshop. In this workshop, attendees will look at how AI will impact the academic practices of students and faculty, and discuss how we can ethically utilize AI as a tool to boost creativity and productivity. Participants will also explore the unethical ways students may use ChatGPT and the dangers of relying on LLMs to complete academic assignments.
