Summary The AI Pedagogy Project, developed by metaLAB (at) Harvard, is an open-access initiative that equips librarians to engage with artificial intelligence in both instructional and public service settings. The site introduces core AI concepts, including policy considerations and hands-on tutorials for tools like ChatGPT. In addition to technical grounding, it offers a curated set of adaptable activities and lesson plans that surface the ethical and societal dimensions of AI—particularly in relation to information access, authorship, and credibility. A distinctive feature of this course is its capstone assignment, which invites participants to critically engage with OpenAI’s terms of service (TOS) and reflect on broader ethical implications related to corporate data practices and user privacy. Materials are openly licensed and readily transferable across library contexts, with a clear emphasis on critical inquiry, reflective practice, and interdisciplinary application.
