Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we work, learn, and innovate. As a key driver of innovation and competitive advantage, AI’s influence already touches most aspects of our lives. But leveraging its full potential requires more than access—it requires AI literacy.
AI literacy is about more than understanding technology. It’s a skill set that empowers individuals to critically assess AI systems, collaborate effectively with them, and apply AI tools across diverse contexts—from the workplace to the classroom and beyond. It means grasping the fundamental principles of AI, recognizing its potential applications, and addressing the ethical, social, and privacy challenges that come with its use.
Research by Chan & Colloton (2024) shows that AI literacy isn’t just about using AI tools; it’s about mastering their principles, identifying biases, protecting privacy, and cutting through the hype to see AI’s real potential. Whether you’re an educator, student, or business leader, these skills are crucial to thriving in today’s AI-driven world.
In this edition of the Library Newsletter, we’ve curated a selection of resources to help you hone your AI literacy. These tools and insights will support your journey toward using generative AI responsibly and effectively in both academic and professional settings. Consider this your starting point for innovation and informed decision-making in an AI-powered world. The future will be driven not by gen AI alone but by the people who know how to use it most effectively.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a successful, innovative year ahead!
