“I’ve been on a digital transformation for over
20 years; the first lesson is, it doesn’t happen
overnight,”
“a lot of the new work for us is figuring out what we want to
assess in the process, instead of just at the end,.. The end
has been so reliable, for so long, as a measure of learning.
But now we have to assess in the middle—which we’ve been
saying for decades, but now our hands are forced.”
Douglas Harrison
At the Digital Universities U.S.
conference
When it comes to AI accelerating
academic processes...
Why are universities slow to
adopt technology?
Some thought-provoking opinions
Lev Gonick
“There is a digital divide and there will be an even greater digital divide if
underrepresented groups don’t have a seat at the table,”
Robbie Melton, described how AI-generated images of underrepresented
groups may deliver negative portrayals... Creating positive, happy AI-
generated images may require multiple prompts, she said.

Consult AI to gain insight on a topic?
Draft my idea, drop on an AI tool for perfection?
Prompt AI and rephrase ai’s response on quillbot?
Copy and paste AI’s result verbatim?
If I cite AI?
WHY SHOULD INTEGRITY MATTER?
is it okay to start rethinking
plagiarism?
Former Library Users, now
have AI assistants
WHAT IS
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY?
Can we answer a few questions?
Where should we start from?
HAVE I PLAGIARISED IF I
Would my work retain its Academic
Integrity, 10 years from now?

Students and Researchers
NO LONGER UNDERSTAND WHAT
plagiarism MEAN anymore
Former Library Users, NO LONGER NEED TO
VISIT THE PHYSICAL LIBRARY:
ai assistants EVERYWHERE
So what should the new-normal be?
SOME PROFESSIONALS DO NOT WANT YOU
TO CONVINCE THEM THAT AI IS A TOOL
THAT CAN BE USED OR MISUSED
What can be done about the entire conversation??
(VIDEO) What should Librarians do about this?
