Artificial intelligence (AI): Phil Bradley's live demo of Chatbots, AI search & AI tools

In this free online informal lunchtime talk organised by CILIP ILIG, Phil Bradley will give a live 45 minute demo of chatbots, AI search and AI tools, plus time for questions at the end of his session.  Phil will provide an overview of AI technology as it relates to information professionals.  AI is a fast-moving field in our profession and it is hard to keep up with the pace of technological change.  The live demo will cover subjects such as Chatbots like ChatGPT - what they are, what they are not, how you can use them and their pros and cons.  AI search is also covered, as more search engines are being created with a focus on AI-based technology to help understand the search query and to provide a single answer with no need to visit different websites.  Plus a look at several tools that librarians and information professionals can use to write content, create slideshow presentations, create videos, translation tools, image creation tools, summarising tools, etc.

No prior knowledge of AI is expected, but it is hoped delegates will have a clearer idea about the importance of AI for information professionals, and pointers on which tools to explore first.

Phil even used ChatGPT to write this short biography:
