Generative AI 101: A Beginner’s Guide

ChatGPT is a free-to-use Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that has been quickly gaining traction – and causing some frenzy – within the academic world.

The emergence of ChatGPT has given students easy access to the power of AI in the form of a research and writing tool. The library has developed an introductory workshop on generative AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, for beginners.

In this workshop we will focus on:

  • Algonquin College’s Academic Integrity policy and the responsible use of generative AI tools in coursework.
  • The strengths and weaknesses of using ChatGPT as a research tool.
  • The difference between the free version (Chat GPT 3.5) and the paid subscription (ChatGPT 4).
