Excerpt: “Whether you believe artificial intelligence is friend or foe, it’s undoubtedly changing many aspects of how we work, including the way we discover content, information, and knowledge. In our first post exploring AI and information discovery, we discussed the evolution of AI, and how it can potentially be applied to solve pain points for researchers and publishers alike. Here, we explore generative AI (GenAI).”

Kajiwara Y, Kawabata K. AI literacy for ethical use of chatbot: Will students accept AI ethics? Computers and education: Artificial intelligence. 2024;6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.caeai.2024.100251
Excerpt: “In AI literacy education, there are few examples of education based on AI ethical principles, and limited knowledge exists regarding curriculum design that incorporates AI ethical principles and its effects. Therefore, in this study, we propose a curriculum that teaches the ethical use of large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT and verify its impact on educational effectiveness and technology acceptance among students aged 12 to 24.”

When ChatGPT shut down briefly this month, there was a flurry of concerned posts on X (formerly Twitter) which could be a sign of things to come. But one thing is certain: There is a growing divide amongst educators on whether AI should have any place at all in the lives of university students.”
