This workshop is the second of two that focus on developing Generative AI fluency using the framework of Delegation, Description, Discernment and Diligence. 

Discernment & Diligence introduces the idea of determining the usefulness and accuracy of Generative AI outputs and using them ethically and appropriately. Participants will explore the strengths and limitations of large language models (LLMs) such as Gemini and Gen AI tools within library databases and discuss how to decide if a tool is good for the task at hand, guiding AI towards your vision for success, and ensuring you are operating within the bounds of university policy and ethical AI use.

This session is eligible for two TMU Libraries badges. Badges are meant to recognize that you’ve developed a particular skill or concept through attendance at a library workshop, and completion of an activity after the session. There are two types of badges we offer:

1) badges for individual workshops which recognize specific skills

2) stacked badges, showing you have completed 3-5 workshops in a group of related workshops and demonstrating the interrelated nature of the different skills.

Artificial Intelligence: Discernment and Diligence can be used to earn two individual badges, or as a component of the Artificial Intelligence Fluency badge. Complete both Artificial Intelligence workshops and the associated activities to earn the Artificial Intelligence Fluency badge. 

Expectations for Participants: The session is designed to be interactive, and collaborative. You will be invited to participate in small group activities and discussion.

A note for the group-activity-averse: If you usually shy away from group work, please don’t let the mention of small group activities deter you. The group portion will be brief, just around 10 minutes, and we’ve designed it to be light, and manageable. No pressure, no overwhelm. Promise.

Who can join: This session is open to all current TMU graduate and undergraduate students, no matter your program or area of study. Everyone’s welcome!
