#LibrariesRewired23
I can’t comment from a #GES2024 perspective, but from my own experience of #LibrariesRewired23 last year (before hashtags were working on here but my hope paid off), I tried to cross-post and have up halfway through. I did copy everything over here afterwards, but that was just for one day.

Have just downloaded the update. It’s so exciting to see all the hashtags I’ve been using over the months appear as hyperlinks #daysofhappiness #JanuaryJoys #FebruaryThoughts #LISconference #ORL #LibrariesRewired23 (and more on an occasional basis).

I gave up at about this point into #LibrariesRewired23 and I wasn’t chairing! #LISconference

Bill Thompson, our keynote speaker this morning, and on the panel now [last Friday, 10/11/23, that is!], and who has made many great points has shared his talk and slides on his blog #LibrariesRewired23 #LISconference

Information literacy (and other literacy) needs to be developed at all stages of life. We do too little of it with children, FE colleges have suffered from cuts over many years, people need lifelong learning #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

People worry about AI stealing their job. It’s not AI stealing the job, it’s someone else who has learnt more about AI, and is making good use of it. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Our vision of libraries might be in a start of flux, but our values and priorities? Are stable - Liz White quoting #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

We can put up with a lot. It will look like utopia until you scratch the surface. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Utopia or dystopia re Ethics and Emerging Technologies? Somewhere in the middle… a journey that won’t be as awful as some predict. Important point about climate impact of data storage centres though, and inequality re needing to pay for Chat GPT v4. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Important to have the information professional in the room. Even if we don’t know the answer (which is hard to feel), we can ask the questions. Reference to blog post by Sandra Wachter: Me, myself and #LibrariesRewired23 #LISconference

Problem: the idea of personal data isn’t sustainable. All personal data is connected to other people. So if one person shares their data, they’re sharing the data of other people too. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Sue Attewell. Someone has to educate students about their data. What is being collected, what they’re giving away. Surely this is the responsibility of libraries… #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Liz White: At the open data conference earlier this week there was talk about plans in the US to have an open data authenticity watermark. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

For many years people have been saying we need to move away from the traditional form of assessment. Hope that Generative AI can be the instigator for this finally happening. Change to a more responsive form of assessment. #LibrariesRewired23 #LISconference

What about the other areas of the academic world? What does AI mean for research, for similar organisations that aren’t universities? #librariesrewired23 #LISconference
November 15, 2023 at 3:48 PM
In Higher Education, the impact for learning and teaching from generative AI. Feels like it’s come by surprise, perhaps should have been more anticipation. Lots of guidelines being created. Libraries are being looked to to provide leadership and guidance #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Smart phones don’t take photos. It’s computational photography. Many many images combined, and then showing you what it thinks you want to see. #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

General principle that a librarian won’t proscribe resources unless they’re proscribed by law doesn’t work in the context of AI production #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

We need to be open about our biases, but more than this with AI-the data these technologies are trained on have inherent biases, some of which are ‘small’ but v important. Difficult to get MidJourney to show you a black doctor with white children in Africa #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

There is perpetual change in technology and how we work. How do we manage the ethics around this? #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

Nice to hear that @nickpoole1.bsky.social is going to keep calling this place [that place, not BlueSky] Twitter until they change the name back to Twitter! #librariesrewired23 #LISconference

I’m going to continue now (maybe not completing all in one go - I have housework to do) copying across my tweets / posts from #LibrariesRewired23 #LISconference
