When prompted, ChatGPT noted that the specific focus of an AI task force would depend on the mission and goals set by the AI task force and the needs of the community it serves. Here are some potential areas of focus for an AI task force (edited to reflect input and feedback from the initial BC AI task force meeting on 1/23/24):
Ethical AI: Ensuring that AI technologies are developed and used ethically, considering issues such as copyright, bias, fairness, and transparency.
Regulatory Frameworks: Contributing to the development of policies that govern the use of AI to ensure responsible and safe deployment.
AI Education and Awareness: Promoting awareness and understanding of AI technologies among the community.
Security and Privacy: Addressing concerns related to the security and privacy implications of AI systems to protect individuals and organizations.
Community Collaboration: Fostering collaboration and coordination on AI-related issues at the community level to ensure a harmonized approach.
Academic and Workforce Development: Promoting education and training opportunities to prepare academic and workforce staff and students for the changing landscape due to AI technologies.
The BC Library, in its continued role of supporting the curriculum and information needs of the BC community, has developed this LibGuide to assist members of the AI task force in our shared endeavors. In this initial phase, the LibGuide hosts a sampling of resources to address some of the areas of focus mentioned above and at the initial meeting. We expect this live resource to grow exponentially as task force members address and share information. At this time, please bookmark this LibGuide knowing the url stays consistent as we collectively build upon the information and resources contained within. If there is information you need addressed or included, please direct that to Brent Cooper (contact information is found to the left).
