Artificial Intelligence

Generative AI tools represent a new way in which we can interact with information, and require us to use our existing information literacy skill set in novel contexts. This guide is designed to introduce you to key concepts and vocabulary in Generative AI and AI Literacy as well as exploring the uses and limitations of using AI in your research.
