Generative AI and the Continuing Importance of Information Literacy

Abstract

GAI models are embedded in a variety of applications. These models are trained using existing information, which is then formatted and delivered within the context of the GAI application. Bias, mis- and disinformation, and ethical use of information resources can be confounding to student and experienced scholars. GAI adds another layer to finding and using reputable, creditable, and appropriate information, the building blocks of information literacy. Participate in this session to learn more about the role of existing information in training GAI tools and the continuing importance of information literacy in learning and teaching.
