This guide contains 10 activities to help researchers better understand and utilize tools related to generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their scholarship as well as the ethical implications of using AI. The activities are presented as "challenges" that researchers might accomplish over the course of a series of steps. However, each activity stands alone and can be completed separately from the others. You should feel free to select the activities that are most relevant to you and complete them in any order you wish. 

After completing these activities, you should:

  • have a greater familiarity with generative AI tools and resources
  • learn about tools that can be used to help create images and written content
  • understand ethical implications of using AI in higher education

Please Note: This guide has been adapted for faculty, staff, and students at Clemson University and, while most of activities can be easily adapted for use elsewhere (and you are welcome and encouraged to do this!), some instructions are specific to a Clemson environment or may refer to resources at the Clemson Libraries that are not universally available.
