| Summary | The four-part mini‑series from The Authority File podcast centers on the evolving role of academic libraries in developing critical thinking and academic integrity amid rapid technological change. Across the episodes, guests discuss strategies to help librarians and patrons question assumptions, evaluate sources, and engage reflectively with AI. Rather than treating critical thinking as a static skill, the series emphasizes how libraries adapt to support informed inquiry as AI and digital tools reshape libraries. Episode 359, “The Intersection of Critical Thinking Skills and AI: Benefits, Pitfalls, and Setting the Scene”, focuses on how librarians can guide best practices relative to the responsible use of generative AI tools. Alongside host Bill Mickey, expert guests explore AI’s potential to illuminate ideas and streamline workflows, while also highlighting risks such as misinformation, bias, copyright and opacity. | |
