Cornell University Center for Teaching Innovation - Generative Artificial Intelligence
Since the release of new generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including ChatGPT, we have all been navigating our way through both the landscape of AI in education and its implications for teaching. As we adapt to these quickly evolving tools and observe how students are using them, many of us are still formulating our own values around what this means for our classes.
Our CTI resources aim to provide support on what these tools are and how they work. We'll address common concerns and considerations in the context of AI, such as academic integrity, accessibility and ethical uses of the technology. We'll also explore practical applications and pedagogical strategies for teaching and assignment design, as well as curriculum mapping for generative AI, as you determine what approaches and policies regarding AI are the right fit for your classes.
Ditch That Textbook! ChatGPT, Chatbots, and Artificial Intelligence in Education
AI just stormed into the classroom with the emergence of ChatGPT. How do we teach now that it exists? How can we use it? Here are some ideas.

Generative AI in Education: Past, Present, and Future
The increased adoption of generative AI tools creates opportunities for its use in academic research, knowledge development, and AI-assisted authoring. This article highlights this trend, discussing the implications of generative AI use in education and actions higher education CIOs can take to prepare for the future.
Teaching About The Use of Generative AI
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Office of The Provost has created a set of guidelines for instructional applications of Generative AI. The guidelines aim to establish a framework for the ethical and responsible use of Generative AI in the classroom.

How artificial intelligence might change academic library work: Applying the competencies literature and the theory of the professions
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to consider the likelihood of the adoption of different approaches to AI in academic libraries. As theoretical lenses to guide the analysis the paper draws on both the library and information science (LIS) literature on librarians' competencies and the notions of jurisdiction and hybrid logics drawn from the sociological theory of the professions. The paper starts by outlining these theories and then reviews the nature of AI and the range of its potential uses in academic libraries. The main focus of the paper is on the application of AI to knowledge discovery. Eleven different potential approaches libraries might adopt to such AI applications are analyzed and their likelihood evaluated. Then it is considered how a range of internal and external factors might influence the adoption of AI. In addition to reflecting on the possible impact of AI on librarianship the paper contributes to understanding how to synthesize the competencies literature with the theory of the profession and presents a new understanding of librarians as hybrid.
Is adopting artificial intelligence in libraries urgency or a buzzword? A systematic literature review
This study aims to investigate the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in libraries from 2011 to 2020. This study uses PRISMA guidelines to perform a systematic literature review (SLR). The articles were obtained mainly from the SCOPUS database, with Google Scholar as the supporting database. AI can easily be adopted in libraries, especially for technical services such as classification and cataloguing, library management such as staffing and decision-making, library services such as referencing and information service, and for information literacy. Successful AI adoption is, however, still debatable, because there are many requirements that need to be met, so that it can be inclusively adopted in libraries. There is a lack of research on the application of AI in libraries, especially in the context of its actual implementation. The results of this study offer insights on the implementation of AI in library support services.
