LTI Webinar Wrap-up: Generative AI Citations and Ethics

Videos, resources, and links!

Posted on January 31, 2024 in Blog Posts

Many librarians, academics, and educators have considered new and creative ways of integrating ChatGPT and generative AI into the research process. But how can they properly show the contributions of these tools? Last week, Kari Weaver and Antonio Muñoz Gómez, two librarians at the University of Waterloo, Canada, gave a webinar entitled “Ethical and Productive: Considering Generative Artificial Intelligence Citation Across Learning and Research.” They discussed their process for creating a LibGuide on how to cite ChatGPT and generative AI as well as the ethical use of AI in academic scholarship.

It was an amazing webinar and discussion, which you can view below. A big thank-you to both Antonio and Kari for sharing their time, work, and knowledge! Choice and LibTech Insights plan to host more webinars on this and related library tech topics in the coming year, so be sure to subscribe to the newsletter so you don’t miss them!
