Networking Breakfast Planning
- What do we want presenters to address?
- We want to stay away from a "How To for Chat GPT"
- How do we address AI eliminating jobs?
- Stephanie Richardson from MIT Libraries has done a lot with administration and AI. She would be a good spreaker.
- Glen is interested in launching a working group on how we can use AI in administrative offices to simplify life. Mark Silis with an advisor from OGC and audit will be a part of the working group.
- No Chat GPT subscriptions on ProCards
- Microsoft has Co-Pilot to use for AI
- Can we get OGC to speak and talk about the pitfalls or IS&T or training data?
- Can Aude Oliva from Schwartzman speak. She spoke to OSATT or Jessica Murray in IS&T.
- Breakfast on May 2nd in Koch Luria Auditorium 76-156
- Olympia will send the subcommittee spreadsheet with roles to everyone for sign up.
- Olympia is working on the invitee list.
- In-person event only. Remote #’s were so low.

AACII Website
