Hello there! Do you want to learn about artificial intelligence (AI) and information literacy? This guide has been designed to help you sort through the rapidly changing world of AI. We hope you can gain important critical thinking skills to use with AI. AI is mixing with everything you use every day and it is important for you to be able to understand its uses and limitations.
You can use the pages on the left-hand side to learn:
This short introductory video below will help get you started:
One important note about communication, academic integrity, and your learning journey: The Kentucky Community and Technical College System Code of Student Conduct holds us all to standards of truth and academic honesty and prohibits you from receiving any unauthorized assistance on assignments. Especially since the field of AI is changing so quickly, it is your responsibility to double check the expectations of your instructors on all your assignments to make sure you are not using these AI-based tools in a prohibited way -- every instructor will have different expectations about the use of these tools in their classrooms, and even within different assignments. As you use AI-based tools, we encourage you to make sure you're using them to help you learn better and not to shortcut skills that are important for you to practice on your own.
