Generative AI | MCW Libraries Featured Resource

An AI Chatbot, like ChatGPT, is an artificial intelligence (AI) program that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand patron questions that responds in a way that simulates conversations, or other forms of human communication. In other words: AI Chatbots like ChatGPT are NOT search engines - they are text generators.

MCW Libraries has a “Generative AI” Library Guide.

  • Journals have AI policies, generally found on the journal’s website under “Instructions for authors”, “editorial policies”, and other similar headings
  • The use of generative AI can have legal, environmental, and ethical implications.
