At the Monsignor William Barry Memorial Library, we embrace the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) to shape our daily lives. This page will provide resources and general guidance on AI for students, faculty and staff.

What is AI?

Artificial intelligence is defined as the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate human behavior. These systems learn from data, adapt to new information, and make decisions based on patterns. In a college context, AI can enhance learning experiences, automate processes, and drive innovation across a variety of subject areas.

AI Overview

AI is significantly impacting higher education, transforming both how students learn and how institutions operate. Students are increasingly using AI tools for various tasks, while universities are exploring AI's potential for enhancing learning experiences and streamlining administrative processes.
