Discover ACU’s digital treasures: a new window into history
News 1 JulyACU Library proudly unveils the ACU Library Digital Collections, a vibrant online portal showcasing items from our curated collections, now accessible to all.
The library has created an AI hub, designed to improve your understanding of generative AI (genAI).
Generative AI is a technology which is evolving at a rapid pace. It can be hard to keep up with when and where the use of generative AI is allowed, and how best to make use of it to optimise your efficiencies in research and learning.
It’s also tricky to understand how you may be able to make use of generative AI when conducting research for your studies, while understanding that plagiarism is also not allowed and that the university uses tools such as Turnitin to assess the authenticity of your work.
So what should you do?
ACU Library has created an AI hub, that explores the responsible and ethical use of generative technology. The hub also promotes the application of critical thinking skills, which is essential in evaluating the accuracy and authenticity of generated results.
The hub is designed to improve your understanding of generative AI (genAI). We developed it to assist you in your studies and research activities at ACU.
GenAI comes in many forms, each capable of producing different types of content. These include AI that create art, videos, text, music, and computer code.
The AI tools section provides an overview of these various genAI types and offers a curated selection of examples for you to investigate.
The AI hub features 4 tiles:
