Generative AI in Libraries

To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/9716876443410/WN_oV6jFP8YTjKBUNANzqj9Kw. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

In this webinar, Lauren Hays will share about generative AI (i.e. ChatGPT) and its current state. Then, she will lead a discussion about how this technology will impact libraries, how to incorporate the technology effectively, and address challenges that it creates.

The session will be interactive and practical. Attendees will have time to share how they want to address the technology.

In this program, attendees will:

• Discuss generative AI (including ChatGPT) and its impact on libraries
• Identify ways to positively incorporate generative AI into libraries
• Discover ways to address the challenges posed by generative AI

New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.
