    We are looking for interested individuals to join our "Resources List for AI in Higher Ed" subgroup. I am pursuing a collaboration with a team who have been developing a list of AI tools for higher education. Our current members (librarians from the Universities of British Columbia, Calgary, and Toronto) have began compiling resources focused on ethics and AI research in post-secondary settings. We are also exploring challenges that arise from AI use in research. We would like to find resources on best practices and institutional initiatives to provide an even more balanced and comprehensive list. Please contact me if you are interested in joining this subgroup.

    We are just getting started on this and not able to contribute, but I would also be very interested in what you come up with! Especially the challenges that arise when using AI for research.
