Exploring AI Literacy in Medical and Health Science Libraries and Developing AI Literacy Training [MLA Webinar]

Description:

If you are confused by the many claims about the value of generative AI in the medical and health sciences fields and the proliferation of tools and AI “enhancements” to familiar software yet want to provide AI literacy training based on an accurate understanding of the current capabilities and risks of AI tools and likely coming innovations, this course is for you. You’ll gain skills and knowledge that will enhance your contributions not only to your library but also to the medical and health science library profession.

You’ll examine and discuss trends and issues posed by AI in healthcare environments, from questions of the role of AI in making diagnoses and privacy concerns to issues of bias, stereotyping, and health care for members of groups who have historically faced poor quality care. You’ll also get hands-on experience by using and critically reflecting two free tools, Azure AI and Google Vertex.


The WNYLRC/HLSP and the UB Libraries are sponsoring the upcoming continuing education opportunities at no cost to WNYLRC member libraries.
