Here is a short list (over 3 Toots) of the NEW work "AI" has already generated *for* me, which, btw-- it cannot do on my behalf.
Keep in mind precisely nothing came off my plate in order to accomodate this.
1) Develop and advocate for policies around use of various AI tools for research and teaching
2) Create and present lectures, seminars, reading lists (regularly updated) about AI and Ethics and down stream harm
3) Understand the myriad tools that are coming at us (1/3)
4) Understand and pursue appropriate advocacy where training sets are stealing from artists and writers
5) Identify actually relevant tools
6) Stay ahead of the vendors "implementing AI" on black box tools and figure out what we need to turn off to protect students (2/3)
7) Help IRB Colleagues think through use of these tools and immediate/downstream harms
8) Attempt to plan for the grant funding related to this in order to have our voices represented
And this is me. One person amongst MANY on my campus and in my library working on this. We are a VERY long way from "AI will take things off my plate" and this is the minimum to try and keep up -- let alone have any space to innovate (3/3)
@hedgielib AI can help you write the prose you need to write to do (1), (2), and (4). *ducks*
