Intrigued by the buzz about ChatGPT and DALL-E? Our Quick Thing for Digital Knowledge about generative AI (https://library.concordia.ca/apps/things/thing.html?thingID=22032) is a short explainer to help you learn more about emerging new tools, their promise, and their pitfalls.
The Library’s Quick Things for Digital Knowledge (https://library.concordia.ca/apps/things/) is a starting point for learning about emerging topics in our current data-rich and technology-driven world. This is not deep or difficult learning – it is broad, exploratory learning; trying something new in a simple way. Our topics so far include generative AI, Web 3.0 and the metaverse, data visualization, security & privacy, machine learning, and more.
You can spend as much time or as little as you’d like, but it will usually take 20–30 minutes to review the information and complete the activities for each Quick Thing. If you’re inspired to learn more, you can continue with the recommended resources for additional reading, videos, podcasts, or longer online courses.
If you’re an undergraduate student, you can complete a reflection form after reviewing the content and completing the activities for one of the Quick Things to have it count as one activity towards your Communication and Digital Capabilities certificate.
