Join ACRL from Monday, July 15, to Friday, August 9, for the Online Learning course “Exploring AI with Critical Information Literacy”. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
In this course, we will examine and unpack AI through the lens of critical information literacy and will explore the ways AI is rooted in, and is an expression of, our social, political, and cultural systems and power structures. With this critical lens, we will examine ways in which librarians can uncover, navigate, and respond to many of the challenges posed by AI. How can we as librarians leverage our expertise and contribute to conversations and efforts around things like ethical AI movements? How can librarians empower our communities to ask questions and engage with AI and technology more critically?
We will explore case studies and readings and engage in reflection and discussion. The activities in this course will be things that you can adapt and use in your own library and the goal is that everyone leave with new ideas, resources, strategies, and plans for next steps that you can take in your own library to engage with and respond to different forms of AI.
