Coursework/paper: Library and Information Literacy (GCC 121) — ethical evaluation and citation of generative AI outputs
Authored an academic paper examining how information literacy should be expanded to address generative AI use in research, emphasizing ethical handling of AI-produced content. The work addresses verifying AI outputs (e.g., bias and hallucination) and maintaining academic integrity through proper citation of AI-generated material. It also discusses critical evaluation techniques such as lateral reading to cross-check claims against authoritative sources. • Covered limitations of generative AI including algorithmic bias and hallucination risks. • Addressed how to evaluate AI-generated summaries for accuracy, depth, and confidence. • Included guidance on proper citation and transparency when using AI tools (e.g., citing the model/algorithm version). • Proposed using lateral reading to verify AI claims via external authoritative sources.
