What will it be about?
Benefits but also several challenges can play out when applying AI in higher education and research. Unintended consequences can arise from the use of (generative or other) AI-assisted tools and practices on teaching and research, such as sloppy writing and (undetectable) plagiarism. Concerns have grown regarding effects on students’ learning if substantial parts of intellectual work are outsourced to large language models (LLMs).
Similarly, one can ask what constitutes responsible use of AI in publishing and reviewing, and several publishers have created guidance for authors (including approaches for AI acknowledgement statements).
Adverse effects on information and data infrastructures have also emerged, in particular, as the creation of AI models heavily depends on access to large datasets as training data. Openly licensed collections and corpora are frequently used for this purpose. In particular, Open Access repositories, journals and platforms are targeted and experience a increasingly challenging load of requests by AI crawlers.
In this session, the organizers would like to share and discuss observations and experiences, possible challenges and adverse effects and how these might be managed or mitigated.
Bring your experiences and observations to the discussion on challenges of AI applications for (Open) research, education and infrastructure. And if you would like to contribute a short presentation please do not hesitate to reach out to the organization team.
