AI vs. Human: Reference Challenge In-Person / Online
Special Topic: AI vs. Human: Reference Challenge
Your AI may ace the Turing Test, but can it survive the 'drunk koala' challenge?
Join San Juan College librarian — and longtime human — Jennifer Goodland, as she puts AI library reference tools to the ultimate test. Witness live demos of GPT+ librarians. Can they recommend your next favorite book? Handle a proper reference interview? Spot standard patron challenges?
Then, it's the main event: Jennifer’s colleague, Michael Mongeau, will face off against an AI reference librarian to find resources about drunk koalas. Who will reign supreme? And what happens if the machines win? Don’t miss this epic battle for library supremacy!
VRS* hosts bi-monthly Reference Roundups where virtual reference providers compare notes, make connections, and chat about hot topics.
