The Critical Artificial Intelligence Librarian accelerates the Dartmouth Libraries engagement with advanced machine learning technologies and their relevant ethical, practical, and educational implications. This expert fosters critical AI literacies by helping Dartmouth students learn how to evaluate AI-inflected systems and information tools, understand the limitations and biases of these systems, appreciate the affordances of referential and inferential information paradigms, and, when appropriate, use these systems responsibly. This person also plays a key role in navigating the academic and ethical considerations surrounding AI, such as privacy, citation, intellectual property, state and industrial policies, misuse, differential access, and sustainability. Building on these core functions, the Critical Artificial Intelligence Librarian will partner with colleagues across and beyond the Dartmouth Libraries to create resources, design and deliver curriculum-aligned instruction, and develop exploratory environments that empower students to explore open and local approaches to artificial intelligence.
