The MSU Library has many Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives and this is a place to document those initiatives for sharing and building awareness in the community.


AI Initiatives

    1. Modeling Transparency: Designing Model Cards for Responsible Generative AI Assignments - We have 2 faculty leading discussion of AI with MSU faculty through the Montana University System Teaching Scholars program.
    2. Integrating AI Literacy into the Curricula - The MSU Library is the lead in participating in an Ithaka S+R cohort in 2025 that "will, with 58 other cohorts across North America, work to identify how libraries and other university units can weave AI literacy into their existing operations, leveraging programs or initiatives that center on information, digital, or metaliteracy." The College of Letters and Science administration, MSU Library faculty, and representatives of the CORE committee at MSU part of this work.
    3. MSU Library had several participants and presenters in the October 2024 INBRE AI symposium at Montana Tech.
    4. MSU Library task force was formed with the following purpose and outcomes. The purpose of the Library Artificial Intelligence Task Force, AI-LIT, was to explore the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for enhancing the library's services, operations, and contributions to the campus community. The outcomes of this task force were to provide:
      • An increased understanding of AI applications relevant to the library.
      • A set of recommendations for integrating AI into the library's services and operations.
      • An increased awareness and engagement with campus community around AI.
      • Actionable plans for piloting and implementing AI in the library. 
    • A summary of the work by this task force is coming soon!
