The Landscape of Generative AI in Teaching and Research

The Landscape of Generative AI in Teaching and Research

For the past two years, universities have been grappling with the implications of Chat-GPT and other tools that have put generative AI into the hands of students and faculty. As libraries and other university units develop policies, programming, and resources to support the ethical adoption of generative AI, they need empirical evidence about how campus communities are using it. In this program, Dylan Ruediger, senior program manager at Ithaka S+R, will share findings from three major research projects conducted by Ithaka and their university partners in 2024 to provide a detailed landscape perspective on how faculty are using generative AI in teaching and research. These projects include surveys of 2500 instructors and 2500 researchers (with an emphasis on biomedical researchers) about their attitudes and practices with generative AI, and 250 interviews with faculty conducted by 18 universities, including Temple, participating in our Making AI Generative for Higher Education project.

This program is cosponsored by the Academic Assembly of Librarians Continuing Education Committee and the Research Data Services Strategic Steering Team, as part of Love Data Week.

Registration for in-person event is strongly encouraged. Registration for Zoom event is required.
