The Learning Commons at Kean University provides exemplary support for student learning, advancing information literacy and AI-literacy for patrons across the university. "Beyond Access: Librarians as Partners in Research Integrity Librarians’ expertise in information ethics and citation practices directly supports the accuracy, transparency, and attribution standards on which scholarly publishing depends. They help students, faculty, and researchers use AI tools responsibly, asking critical questions about information sources, potential biases, and the proper citation or adaptation of AI-generated content. But these contributions are only possible if librarians are given the institutional recognition to engage in that work. Without it, the risk grows that AI will be used poorly—and academic integrity will suffer."  Jane Jiang https://lnkd.in/ehWb5zBU #learning #informationliteracy #collboration #leaderineducation

As AI tools grow in popularity, many are questioning the environmental impacts of AI adoption. How can colleges and universities provide students, faculty, and staff with accurate and helpful information on AI’s environmental footprint? With support from Mellon Foundation, Ithaka S+R will develop a set of practical resources—including a libguide, an environmental AI literacy framework, and modular course content—to help librarians and instructors inform their campus communities.

I love seeing how State University of New York at Oswego is stepping up as a leader in responsible AI education. Mohammad H T. has been selected as one of 20 inaugural fellows in SUNY's AI for the Public Good Fellows Program. Here's what stands out... ethics isn't an afterthought. It's the starting point. As we race to adopt AI across industries, initiatives like this remind us that innovation and responsibility aren't competing priorities. They're inseparable. https://lnkd.in/gCEvC6E9
