WVU Art in the Libraries: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Your Education and Fields of Work: Seeking Your Input
Exhibition Launching August 2025, WVU Libraries
For the WVU Art in the Libraries 6th collaborative, multidisciplinary exhibition, we want to invite the WVU community to look at how artificial intelligence might impact fields of study, work, career readiness, community engagement and/or daily life. What will the use of these applications change about, for example, fields such as engineering, science, design, business, media, agriculture, education, the humanities, the arts, community development? How is AI already impacting you? The exhibit will debut at WVU Libraries in the fall of 2025 and become part of the Research Repository of WVU.
We invite all WVU faculty, classes, staff, and groups in the fall of 2023 and spring 2024 to develop and submit content to be included in the exhibit.
Ways of participating might include:
-
Faculty might...invite someone from the Libraries into one class session to do an interactive brainstorming exercise around the topic as it relates to your field of study, or use our Activity Guide to help outline a project.
-
Undergraduate students might...work individually or in teams to ideate how AI will impact their careers using an AI platform of choice. (And get iServe hours for participating - see listing here!)
-
Graduate students might...engage with students/faculty/community with a survey to formulate how AI is/will impact their industry. (And get iServe hours for participating - see listing here!)
-
Scholars/staff might...consider individually how AI is already impacting their line of work and submit a personal response(s).
