Artificial Intelligence and Open Science

Introduction

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) pose a wide range of new challenges to libraries. To support university and research libraries, as well as all trainers working with researchers and students, EIFL has compiled a training programme outline that can be used to develop training about the ethical and responsible use of AI. While focusing on the synergy of AI and open science, it also provides general information to help understand the broader landscape of AI, paying special attention to research integrity.

 

How can librarians use this resource?

This resource is divided into six sections: Introduction to AI, Research and AI, Intersections of AI and Open Science, Boosting Knowledge Discovery with Open Science and AI, AI and Research Integrity, Libraries and AI.

Each section gives an overview of the topic, what the trainer should cover, and what the learner should gain by the end of the training. Each topic includes “Resources for facilitators and learners”, with useful material that trainers and learners can use to improve their own knowledge or, if the licence allows, use in their own training.

In order to be able to follow the programme learners should have at least a basic understanding of open science principles.

We encourage you to become familiar with this training programme and to adapt and use relevant topics to train librarians, students and researchers.
