In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology and transforming industries across the globe. As AI continues to reshape the world of research, data analysis, and education, it’s essential for professionals to stay ahead of the curve and unlock its full potential.
The One Week Workshop: AI and Data Analysis for Research is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively leverage AI tools and guide patrons. By focusing on human connection, librarians can dedicate more time to personalized consultations, complex research assistance, and fostering a sense of community within the library.
Course Content
Introduction to AI
In this section, we’ll delve into the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, exploring its history, evolution, and types, including narrow, general, and super AI. We’ll also examine its applications in real-life scenarios, highlighting the difference between AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning.
Fundamentals of Machine Learning
This section will cover the basics of Machine Learning, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. We’ll discuss key concepts such as features, labels, training, and testing, as well as common algorithms like Linear Regression and Logistic Regression.
Strategic Planning and AI Policy Advocacy
As AI continues to evolve, librarians must play a crucial role in identifying appropriate AI use cases, advocating for ethical AI development, and ensuring that AI tools align with the library’s mission and values. This section will explore the importance of strategic planning and AI policy advocacy in the library setting.
Real-World Applications of AI in Research
In this section, we’ll examine real-world examples of AI-powered projects that have made a significant impact in the world of research. For instance, the Egyptian Center for Economic Studies developed a real-time, AI-powered labour market observatory that has systematically analyzed over 350,000 unique online job postings across 13 consecutive quarters.
While challenges related to ethics, privacy, and equity must be carefully navigated, the collaborative efforts of educators, policymakers, and technologists can ensure that AI harnesses its potential as a force for positive change. By attending this workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding of AI’s capabilities and limitations, empowering them to make informed decisions and drive meaningful change in their own research and education initiatives.
