Description:                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion on the impact of ChatGPT on libraries and higher education. Our panelists will begin by providing a foundational overview of what ChatGPT is, the basics of language models, and how these models are trained. They will explore the implications of this technology as well as the need to educate students and faculty on what this tool does. Special attention will be paid to the opportunities and ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in higher education. As this technology rapidly evolves, it will be critical for libraries to get ahead of the discussion and understand how AI will shape conversations about information privilege and access in the years to come. There will also be a Q & A period at the end of the discussion. Please send your questions to enorlin@aserl.org by July 17th.
