Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how we discover and share information. In this evolving technological landscape, the University Library has taken a leading role in helping our community understand generative AI and its responsible use. As part of these efforts, we are training faculty, students, and staff to identify and evaluate AI-generated content. This talk will provide a beginner-friendly overview of how AI tools interpret pictures and sound to generate new images, videos, and voices. We'll explore how these techniques are used in research, the film industry, and across campus to support new scholarship and creative work. Additionally, we’ll discuss strategies for recognizing deep fakes and tools to protect your own image and voice.

As part of Scholarly Communication and Publishing, she assists researchers in using digital tools to study history, literature, and the arts. Her approach to AI is shaped by her experience as a business writing instructor and her work in the publishing industry. In her research, she employs machine learning to explore the global history of projection. Currently, she is experimenting with image and text generation tools to reimagine Victorian natural history lectures.The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
