AI in the Library

As generative AI, and AI in tools become more common, it's good to know the basic ins and outs of using AI tools. This guide will help the OU community learn more about AI, the ethics, data safety and privacy concerns with using AI.

Ethics & AI

The purpose of this page is to highlight the discussion around the ethical issues of artificial intelligence usage. There are a variety of issues that require careful consideration. Given this variety, it is difficult to say that there is one definitive way to ethically use AI tools. To demonstrate this, this page has resources that have been broken down into five interrelated yet distinct categories: Bias, Inaccuracies, Plagiarism/IP Infringement, Environmental Impact, and User Safety.
