Some things to consider when choosing to use AI
AI tools will often collect user information that cannot be deleted and may be shared with third-party vendors. Consider this privacy concern as you use these tools.
Generative AI can produce sexist, racist or otherwise biased results. Not only does it reflect the bias in its training data, but it can also amplify these biases. Moreover, in some instances, AI vendors, in trying to mitigate these biases through specific instructions placed on their AI tools, have inadvertently seen the AI tool produce results that may not reflect reality.
Generative AI can produce erroneous or misleading information - including making up citations for articles and book citations - or even people - that do not exist. These hallucinations can result in misunderstandings or incorrect information.
Generative AI will often not include up-to-date information.
Generative AI may produce output that is not unique, resting in material being produced that should be protected by copyright or other means.
Generative AI may have used unethically sourced training data, such as an artist's work, an author's published words, or private data that should not have been used.
