Yes, use AI, but not like that! Helping student researchers navigate conflicting messages about generative AI

Abstract

Student use of generative AI tools in their academic research is a growing trend, but these newer technologies have undergone little testing and are predominately unregulated in higher education contexts. Having planned and presented a one-shot workshop, “Responsible Use of AI Research Tools", two academic librarians will discuss their experiences with this workshop including its development, presentation and lessons learned.
