Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) seems to have taken the world by storm. Relying on models that can create new content in the form of text, media, code, and the like, generative AI is used in a variety of globally popular tools such as ChatGPT, Elicit, or Bard. Its unique appeal is linked to its ability to learn the paradigms of its input and use it to generate new content with similar characteristics.
This guide is intended to help students, faculty, and staff at W&J to navigate the quickly evolving terrain of generative AI. It provides an overview of popular AI research tools, offers guidance on crafting prompts in these tools, points out key library resources on AI, and lays out basic citation rules.
Information on AI in this guide is not intended to be an endorsement or recommendation for using these tools. Students should consult with their instructors regarding the use of AI tools for any purpose in their coursework.
