Library and information professionals are increasingly faced with questions like "How does this work?", “Is this safe to use?", and "Can I trust it?" In this webinar, Brady Lund will discuss a practical approach to promoting AI literacy within libraries, with an eye towards equipping each library patron with answers to these questions and more. Through the webinar, participants will learn: * A simple guide for explaining how generative AI tools work to the public, avoiding technical jargon. * How to evaluate and explain concepts related to AI privacy, bias, and transparency. * Ready-to-use prompts and activity ideas for use in AI literacy workshops. * Policies and guardrails that libraries can adopt immediately to protect staff and patrons. This session focuses on actionable techniques that you can use each day to help patrons explore AI tools, design your own AI workshops, and promote responsible use of AI through policy and practice. If you're interested but unable to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the live event.
