Generative Artificial Intelligence : Introduction

WELCOME TO THE GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GUIDE FROM THE TUC LIBRARY
This guide was developed for the TUC community as a resource for learning about generative artificial intelligence. This guide is divided into four pages. The first page is an introduction and includes resources to familiarize oneself with a broad understanding of generative artificial intelligence. The three remaining pages focus on generative artificial intelligence issues and topics in research, education (K12 and higher education) and ethics. 
We very much welcome and encourage your suggestions and comments on this guide and its contents. Please email us at: tuc.library@touro.edu. 
Thank you for taking your time to consult any of these resources, and please know that we, in your TUC Library, are here for you.
