Hot Topic #7   :   Artificial Intelligence:  Don't let it get the best of you!

with Dr. Jim Wittebols, Professor Emeritus, University of Windsor and moderated by  Gwendolyn Ebbett .
 
Have you ventured into the wacky world of AI yet?

This session will give you some issues to think about and tools to assist you in using AI.  Before retiring I developed a very successful news and information literacy course —even wrote a book about it (https://www.peterlang.com/document/1282575).  With all the attention AI is getting, I thought about how I would integrate an AI element /assignment into the course if I were teaching it today.  We will use this session to share our experiences with AI to this point, try a mini assignment which compares "traditional”  search with using AI. The intent of the session is to convey  that either of these approaches requires substantial critical thinking and analysis.
