Hello Everyone,
It feels these days as though we’re surrounded by discussions and speculations about artificial intelligence, the changes it will cause (or, more likely, has already caused) for higher education, and questions about how academic libraries will navigate these changes. There’s no doubt that AI is rapidly altering the landscape of higher education.
The pace of development of AI has been remarkable, and the rate of change that it has caused has, I think it’s safe to say, been unprecedented. We’ve seen dramatic changes across higher education in the past three decades as new technologies (the introduction of the internet and world wide web, rapid spread of high-speed internet access, shift from desktop computers to laptops for mobility, then the shift from computers to smart phones for mobility and 24/7 access, etc.) have altered the way we work and interact with students, but what’s happening now with AI is moving at an exponentially faster rate of change than anything that has preceded it.
