📘 Just published a new commentary in Distance Education with co-authors Sean Hickey and Fan Xu exploring the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence chatbots into online learning. This reflection raises important questions about AI's capabilities and limitations in educational settings. 🤔 The use of AI in education demands a deep understanding not only of its potential to enhance learning but also of the ethical and social concerns it raises. ✍🏼 Through the article, we detail the design principles and strategies necessary for developing effective AI-powered online learning experiences. 🌐 As we look to the future, it's imperative to consider how these technologies are implemented responsibly. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gnFNQViR #AIinEducation #OnlineLearning #EducationalTechnology #EthicsInAI #DistanceEducation

What is your Relationship with AI? The Snyder Innovation Management Center at the #WhitmanSchool at Syracuse University thanks Dr. Aric Rindfleisch, who asked the 2024 PDMA - Product Development and Management Association doctoral consortium participants to reflect on their “relationship with AI.” He noted that in the current “knowledge economy,” AI is a tool that can enhance “how” we study by enabling a transition from knowledge creation to knowledge curation.

Building on the work of Shuwei Fang and David Caswell at OSF I analyzed more than 800 written scenarios to better understand how writers thought the information ecosystem would change in 5, 10, or 15 years due to AI. In short, many of the core activities of news production and distribution are expected to change, and domain ethics will need to take account of those changes. Scenario writers thought AI could drive efficiency and turbo-charge data journalism, while also threatening journalism careers. We see people writing about the potential for AI personalization, about the impact on business models, for enhancing activities like fact checking that are central to the accuracy mandate of journalism, and about the risk of political manipulation. And there are some differences around the world and in terms of which impacts were considered short vs. long term. More details in the post: https://lnkd.in/gnkB-Ubn

Generative AI tools are transforming higher education, prompting educators and administrators to grapple with new challenges and opportunities. The The Chronicle of Higher Education conducted a survey of over 800 higher education administrators and faculty members to delve into these evolving dynamics. Key findings include: -Diverse Perspectives: Faculty and administrators show varying levels of agreement on the appropriate uses of generative AI in teaching and learning. -Curriculum Redefinition: Generative AI tools are prompting instructors to reconsider their teaching methods and assessment strategies. -Policy Development: Institutions are developing new policies to regulate the use of AI in education while aiming to harness its benefits effectively. -AI Literacy and Ethics: There is a growing emphasis on ensuring all students graduate with basic AI literacy and an ethical understanding of AI technology. For a comprehensive analysis of these findings and more insights, read The Chronicle’s full Research Brief. #DiversePerspective#CurriculumRedefinition#PolicyDevelopment#AILiteracy #Ethics

🌟We've hit a major milestone by garnering adequate signatures to propose the establishment of a new AI Discussion Group to the ACRL Board of Directors! I am seeking two co-conveners to join in spearheading this new group centered around AI and its impact on libraries. The group's mission is to establish a platform for discussing the implications of #AI on libraries, exchanging best practices, and fostering collaboration among library professionals. Key aspects of the role include: - Flexibility: Co-convener positions are just a one-year commitments, with the option to continue if you so choose, with no term limits. - Leadership: As a co-convener, you will lead the group, organize discussions, engage with members, and ensure a seamless transition if you decide not to continue. - Opportunity: This role offers a fantastic chance to shape the conversation on AI in libraries and network with industry peers. If you or someone you know is passionate about AI and libraries and would thrive in this role, I am happy to discuss this further. Message me to express interest by Aug 21 ✉ . Once we finalize the co-conveners, I will submit the proposal the ACRL Board to vote on. #Libraries #LeadershipOpportunity

Dear colleagues: Kindly see the announcement below. I wanted to add that for those of you who have not necessarily engaged deeply with the digital innovation literature in the past (or don't consider yourselves "digital innovation" specialists), this editorial, led by Youngjin Yoo, provides an accessible summary of what has been done on this topic. Furthermore, it highlights areas where you can contribute to this very vibrant stream of work in IS. I sincerely thank my co-authors (Youngjin Yoo, Ola Henfridsson, Jannis Kallinikos. Robert Wayne Gregory, Gordon Burtch, and Sutirtha Chatterjee) for taking the time to develop this thoughtful editorial. We invite you to take a look!
