Curious about generative AI (GenAI)? This fast 30-minute workshop with librarian Laurie Bridges will give you a no-nonsense intro to GenAI: what it is, how it works, and most importantly, when you can and can’t use it for your classes. Stick around after the presentation for an optional Q&A.

We’ll cover the basics:

AI in practice: How GenAI works + why it sometimes makes stuff up (hallucinations).

OSU rules: What the university and your instructors say about using GenAI.

AI tools at OSU: University subscriptions like Copilot Chat and Scite_.

AI in your world: Deepfakes, AI companions, and mental health.

Note: The workhop will not be recorded, but will be repeated in the future.
