ChatGPT

Curious* about how ChatGPT will impact higher education? So are we! We have been following developments of this artificial language intelligence product ever since OpenAI released it on November 30, 2022. ChatGPT - and the AI advances that will surely follow - have the potential to revolutionize learning. The implications are vast.

In the Gustavus Library, we are especially focused on how ChatGPT intersects with information literacy and traditional, scholarly research. We created this page as a place to share resources that address these questions and are sharing them with the broader community, as teaching research is part of what we all do. The landscape is changing rapidly; this page will continue to reflect ongoing developments in the world of ChatGPT. Stay tuned! We also invite you to check out the resources on the Teaching with Artificial Intelligence page compiled by the Kendall Center.
