ChatGPT & AI Resources

What is Generative AI

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a term that refers to a type of “AI algorithms that can create a variety of content types—including alphabetic text, images, and sound—based on patterns it has identified within a data set.” (Dobrin, 2023, p. 7) This allows the algorithm, once trained, to produce a wide variety of content.  As of early 2023, several open-source (free to all) language models, were made available, including the well-known ChatGPT. 

AI resources to support teaching and learning

Artificial intelligence technology is readily available to the public and is currently being integrated into more tools our students use such as Grammarly, Microsoft Office, Google Docs, search engines, etc.. It is important to consider if and how you will allow your students to use generative AI in your courses.   

The Teaching Centre and the Library are working together with SEARS and faculty to create updated resources to support teaching and learning in a world of AI. These resources will be updated regularly given the rapid adoption and constant changes in these technologies.

The University of Lethbridge Library AI for faculty LIB guide hosts the most up to date information on how to manage AI use in your courses.
