University Libraries will offer a series of workshops, beginning in September, that will focus on topics including artificial intelligence, geographic information systems and data management.
A highlight of the workshops is a new monthly offering, AI and Society Conversation Series, in which the Libraries' Research Partnerships department will lead conversations meant to help people think about artificial Intelligence beyond both the hype and the doom. The AI and Society Conversation Series will start with the nuts and bolts of AI and offer tools for thinking about AI, algorithms, and other technologies. Registrants will receive an accessible resource (reading, video or podcast) and reflection questions to prepare for the session. During each session, a brief introduction to the topic will be followed by facilitated discussion and opportunities for questions.
Many of the sessions are on Zoom and registration is required. All events can be found on the department’s event calendar.
These workshops are also a part of the year-long celebration of University Libraries called Pages to Paths, an initiative to raise awareness, celebrate history, accomplishments, people and services, and co-create the future with our communities.
