A Conversation on the Commons featuring Joanne Riley (UMass Boston) and Jane Stimpson (Massachusetts Library System)
Heads-up – here comes Artificial Intelligence! How can generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Bard, Poe, ChatPDF and others help advance our work? Are they difficult to use? Can they be fun? Which are the most reliable sources for chatbots? What are some examples of how AI can help with administration, fund-raising, programming and the many other tasks that keep librarians and cultural heritage workers hopping? Join us for a conversation and demonstration with Joanne Riley (Healey Library Archives and Special Collections, UMass Boston) and Jane Stimpson (Massachusetts Library System) about using AI creatively and productively at libraries, historical organizations, and small museums. Bring your questions and experiences, good and bad, as well as your ideas and practices, and help us start bending the arc of the future to our advantage.
Registration is free.
We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive.
