School District collected thoughts and articles in a Google document called <u><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BADqLo3_FXtL5DnErbQ0-9C_uY8kIfeRrEN7DrnDD2g/edit?usp=sharing">Educational Impacts & Benefits of AI</a></u>, which they made public to
anyone with the link. Those interested in the topic may find it helpful. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">AI seems to be everywhere all of the sudden...students writing papers, medical professionals diagnosing patients, job applicants writing cover letters, and people using it for authoritative searching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This took me all by surprise, so I was recommended a great article by Melissa Heikkilä as a bit of a primer:
<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1068498/why-you-shouldnt-trust-ai-search-engines/">
https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/14/1068498/why-you-shouldnt-trust-ai-search-engines/</a><br>
<br>
The bad news? "AI language models are notorious bullshitters, often presenting falsehoods as facts. They are excellent at predicting the next word in a sentence, but they have no knowledge of what the sentence actually means. That makes it incredibly dangerous
to combine them with search, where it’s crucial to get the facts straight."<br>
<br>
Anyone out there familiar with AI and what it might mean for patrons, students, and library staff?

Happy Wednesday, all!<br>
