AI Literacy and Information Literacy: Considerations for the Future 

June 25, 2024 

2:00 pm (Eastern) 

To register: https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8l0UfpApTAGo4Zm5FP_CvQ  

 

As we think about the future of information literacy, we must consider it in relation to developments in generative artificial intelligence. How will, or should, AI impact the way we conceptualize information literacy? What is the role of librarians in teaching AI literacy? These are essential questions we must grapple with as IL professionals.  

 

Presenter: Michael Flierl is an Associate Professor and Student Learning Librarian at The Ohio State University.  Michael has recently explored dual-use foundational AI models—consulting on AI for the Department of Defense and presenting on AI to the Ohio State University Senate and the Ohio State University’s College of Medicine. His most recent work in the area, “Artificial Intelligence and Information Literacy: Hazards and Opportunities,” was presented at the 2023 European Conference on Information Literacy and published in the conference proceedings, Information Experience and Information Literacy. Michael is currently a Fellow at the Institute for Information Literacy at Purdue and the Special Issues Editor for Reference Services Review. 

 

This presentation is being hosted by The Ohio State University Libraries and is being offered as a follow-up to Celebrating 50 Years of Information Literacy: A Panel Discussion, held in April 2024.
