Hi all, As summer's just about done I wanted to share out a resource that that my colleagues at ISKME and UVA Libraries have been working on, the AI & OER Community Hub on OER Commons. The hub contains 28 collections of 564 openly licensed resources (and growing), sorted into 5 buckets: AI Basics/AI ...
Hi Bill, this is as good a place as any to ask so thanks for bringing it up! At my org we haven't used AI tools for communication things, partly because we want to be conscientious about how and when we use it because of how many ways the dice can roll in not great ways. What's given us pause are the ...
Hi all (cross-posted to Core AI & ML in Libraries IG, and AIRUS), A bit later coming than the list I did last year, but it's been a wild, wild, wild time. In any case: I've put together a list of all of the sessions and posters at ALA 2025 in Philly this year for your browsing pleasure. This year ...

Hi all! In case you missed it, the recordings for the IG week sessions from last week are out and free for all to access!

Hi y'all, I wanted to share out ISKME's Guiding Principles for Responsible AI in the World of "Open."

Hi all, just a quick note that the most recent edition of ITAL Journal is out today, and it's a special issue all about AI & Machine Learning in Libraries! It was a privilege to guest edit, and there's plenty of food for thought in there. Peer-reviewed articles in the special issue: "Responsible ...
Hi all, your friendly neighborhood interest group chair here with a bit of a follow-up. I was fortunate to moderate a group discussion on the last day between some folks who've been working with AI in libraries for a few years now. While we did save some time at the end for audience questions, unsurprisingly ...
That's a wrap on ALA 2024 in San Diego, and what a conference it was! With so many sessions and posters on artificial intelligence in libraries, it's exciting and also a little overwhelming trying to keep it all in my head. For folks who attended, did you sit in on a session that had something memorable? ...

While I'll be guiding the conversation as needed, the aim for the session ...
Great to see a survey on this! If they aren't already on your radar, cross-posting this onto the SPARC OE forum and in the AI4LAM groups may help you reach more folks that happen to fall into your target demographic. ------------------------------ Peter Musser Co-chair, CORE IG for Artificial ...

Just a heads up that the call for proposals in my last post has been extended to October 31! Also, I wanted to clarify that at this time we're looking for proposals, not fully fleshed out manuscripts (in case that's holding anyone back). If you have something you're working on (or something ...
