Webinar: Harnessing Pandora's box: At the Intersection of Information Literacy and #AI

A dark winter forest with some lanps piercing the darkness. Some bookshelves in the middle with a single fgure on the path
On 13 December 12.30 US Eastern time (so, 17.30 GMT) another AI focused webinar. Hosted by the Special Libraries Association Academic & Education Community and ACRL's EBSS Education Committee it's Harnessing Pandora's box: At the Intersection of Information Literacy and AI.
Speakers are all from Miami University, USA: Katie Gibson (Humanities Librarian), Roger Justus (Data Services Librarian), Stefanie Hilles (Arts and Humanities Librarian) and Ginny Boehme (Science Librarian).
"Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to dominate scholarly discussion, especially with regard to critical pedagogy and digital literacies. How do librarians work with faculty to create writing and research assignments that encourage our students to critically engage with information? How can we harness these tools to create deeper learning, instead of futilely trying to outright ban their use? How should librarians and other teaching faculty approach information literacy and when these AI tools are becoming more commonplace?"
