Artificial Intelligence: Additional Resources

The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) is the premier scientific society dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines.

The Center for AI and Digital Policy aims to ensure that artificial intelligence and digital policies promote a better society, more fair, more just, and more accountable – a world where technology promotes broad social inclusion based on fundamental rights, democratic institutions, and the rule of law.

The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank whose peer-reviewed research and trusted analysis influence policy makers to innovate. Our global network of multidisciplinary researchers and strategic partnerships provide policy solutions for the digital era with one goal: to improve people’s lives everywhere.

Humans tend to be optimistic about technologies because immediate benefits are more obvious than collateral, unintended, and disproportionate effects.

This self-directed resource has been designed to help you navigate and understand the basics of GenAI. Exploring the resource at your own pace will give you an opportunity to focus on understanding some fundamental GenAI concepts, while also considering the pros and cons of using GenAI in your studies.

Prompts are the instructions used to ask a large language model to perform a task and create an output. The more specific instructions you can give the generative AI, the better output you're going to get. Prompting generative AI each step of the way guides it to ensure consistency and keeps the AI on topic.

The UCD College of Engineering and Architecture ran a student competition for groups of students to create/ script/ host an episode on the theme of AI and assessment. Each episode focuses on one assessment type (e.g. lab reports, group projects etc). The full season is openly available on all podcast platforms.

AI is already having a significant impact on education. Across the UK's tertiary education sector, universities, colleges, and skills providers are experimenting with, adopting, and embedding AI technologies. This is a five stage model, with corresponding AI toolkits, each with a wide range of resources, all aligned with our responsible use of AI approach.

This self-directed resource has been designed to help you navigate and understand the basics of GenAI. Exploring the resource at your own pace will give you an opportunity to focus on understanding some fundamental GenAI concepts, while also considering the pros and cons of using GenAI in your academic work.

This study examines the development and diffusion of generative AI policies in UK universities, particularly in relation to the Russell Group principles. It explores factors influencing policy adaptation, institutional resource disparities, and challenges and opportunities in AI integration.

Since the introduction of ChatGPT in 2022, GenAI tools have become widely accessible, offering new opportunities for academic support. From brainstorming essay ideas to generating teaching materials, these tools can enhance both student learning experiences and teaching methodologies.

This resource shares a workflow and prompts that will help you rapidly ideate and create different curricular products with the assistance of an AI platform like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity.

Meaningful conversations with UCD students and staff on key topics in teaching and learning across the University College Dublin community.

This initiative hosted by the UCD Teaching & Learning team aims to promote meaningful conversations on key topics in teaching and learning across the university community. The series is designed to facilitate opportunities where colleagues and students come together to understand and explore their various perspectives and experiences of teaching and learning. It will provide in-person and online opportunities to connect with others through conversation to find common solutions to shared problems.

Ten key considerations for generative AI adoption have been published following initial sector-wide consultation providing a foundation for developing institutional policies and practices.

Artificial intelligence (AI) now forms a part of various activities in the academic world. AI will also affect how research libraries perform and carry out their services and how the various kinds of data they hold in their repositories will be used in the future. For the moment, the landscape is complex and unclear, and library personnel and leaders are uncertain about where they should lay the path ahead. This extensive literature review provides an overview of how research libraries understand, react to, and work with AI. This paper examines the roles conceived for libraries and librarians, their users, and AI. Finally, design thinking is presented as an approach to solving emerging issues with AI and opening up opportunities for this technology at a more strategic level.

When crafting online courses, teaching critical thinking skills is crucial. Urbi Ghosh shows how generative AI can shape how educators can approach this.

This publication aims to promote AI Literacy, inspire new teaching, learning and assessment approaches and spark innovation across disciplines in higher education. The case studies in the publication "capture how GenAI has been used within a particular academic context followed by authors’ critical reflections on their experiences."

In collaboration with international collaborators and our partner hospitals, UCD experts are developing cutting-edge AI technologies and using data-driven approaches to provide innovative solutions that are helping clinicians, industry and society make better decisions.

At UCD, our research makes a difference. We deliver research and innovation at scale and in areas of national and global significance by prioritising excellence and impact, investing in our people and providing a culture and environment in which they are supported to deliver across the university's four strategic themes.

[This] project explores how a focus on inclusive teaching and learning may help us develop a sustainable, measured, ethical, and learner-centred response to the challenges and affordances of rapidly-evolving AI text generators (e.g. Microsoft-sponsored ChatGPT and Google Gemini) in Arts and Humanities teaching, learning, and assessment.

Various cloud services are now offering AI features. Enterprise Applications Group (EAG) has enabled those features in limited cases: where user demand exists, their use could increase workplace productivity and the service meets UCD’s data protection and privacy requirements, as outlined on this page.

The Elements of AI is a series of free online courses created by MinnaLearn and the University of Helsinki. We want to encourage as broad a group of people as possible to learn what AI is, what can (and can’t) be done with AI, and how to start creating AI methods. The courses combine theory with practical exercises and can be completed at your own pace.

This course will increase your awareness of AI, help you become AI literate, and support adoption of AI in your organisation, while making you aware of the requirements of the EU AI Act. This self-paced online course takes approximately 3 Hours to complete. It includes video content and short multiple choice questions after each module.
