Highly rated course instructor, David Birss is an author speaker, and broadcaster on topics such as innovation, creativity, and ideation. His course is available to users on LinkedIn Learning. Hosting a collection of short, concise videos that offer practical guidance on how to leverage ChatGPT for various aspects of research and writing. Following the methods taught in the course, learners can enhance their abilities to utilize AI prompts effectively. While the course doesn't explicitly mention information literacy, the principles and techniques align with those concepts. To summarise, the course's credibility as a source is relatively strong as LinkedIn is an established network. The information circulated on users' feeds may contain bias due to the algorithm of the usage of the app. However, LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com) would be required to source an experienced instructor and develop course content, making it more credible as a source of learning.

Yimin Yang is a 13-year-old student at Southlands Elementary with a passion for public speaking. TEDxYouth provided him with the platform to share his ideas on the importance of digital literacy skills. Although not as accredited as other sources in the bibliography, Yang’s age means he has a unique perspective as a digital native. However, states that although the use of devices may come naturally, guidance is critical. His engaging communication style, storytelling and analogies demonstrate an exemplary understanding of digital literacy skills. Notably, when he explains that browsing online isn't a one-way communication. Users cannot see or control how their data is being shared. Yang compares this to his audience, as they can see him but not the crew that watches them from backstage. To conclude, Yang’s skills and TED Talks process of reviewing their speakers would suggest this is a credible source.

Description

scallanan2 — 2023-12-08 01:00:10 UTC

The following online article by Mollick explores the risks and opportunities that generative AI presents. The author provides an overview of the extensive abilities of AI and the advantages and opportunities for businesses and the public alike. However, as the title implies, the article focuses on the imbalance, so to speak. How AI is advancing at such an alarming rate, that as much as the known implications are problematic for the user, the biggest potential threat is how little is known about AI's full capabilities. In summary, the article makes strong arguments and the author's work is highly cited within academic databases, however the Harvard Business Review is a magazine.Therefore credibility as a source would not be to the same standard as that of a peer-reviewed academic journal. However, it should be noted that online content, unlike academic sources, is accessible to the general public.

The online article from The New York Times by authors Adam Satariano and Cecilia Kang is the third article in a series that tackles the subject of modern artificial intelligence. The article is dense with information and contains multiple links to support the order of events and steps taken whilst simultaneously delving into an overview of rapid recent AI developments, the initiatives, and policies that the European Union have implemented in an attempt to keep up with the changes. However, government policies simply cannot evolve quickly enough to stay ahead of technology. This is partially true that the tech companies such as Open AI have been entrusted to develop safely and consciously however this is due to a lack of AI literacy in the government bodies. The New York Times is a reputable and credible source and has dealt with dense topics effectively and clearly.

This journal article by Lai supported by the American Library Association, evaluates how Chatgpt handles reference inquiries based on question types and complexities. The author discusses how the topics of Gen AI Tools are handled in the media, specifically Chatgpt. Using literature reviews, methodologies, table references, about various queries put to the AI tool adhering to the article's objective effectively. In conclusion the strength of the AI tool lies in its highly trainable nature, which makes it useful for convenient and repetitive instructions in responding to queries and complaints. The tool maintains a consistently professional and gorgeous manner with formal layouts, proper salutations, and signature lines. However, the tool has weaknesses, such as not being able to detect nuances and being unable to make proper referrals to other units to search outside its pre-ingested training data. The data collected and the extensive reference list would support that this is a credible source.
