Text Shot: Just as the Framework encourages reflective engagement with information, these mindsets promote thoughtful exploration of AI tools and consideration of their broader impacts. These mindsets are not fixed traits. Rather, they are guiding orientations that help individuals navigate the evolving role of AI in higher education and librarianship.
Curiosity: Remain open to exploring the potential and limits of AI tools.
Skepticism: Approach AI critically, questioning results, and representations.
Judgment: Balance evidence, institutional context, and community impact when making or advising on AI-related decisions.
Responsibility: Recognize the importance of thoughtful evaluation and ethical consideration as acts of care and stewardship for your community.
Collaboration: Seek diverse perspectives when assessing AI tools.
Readers are encouraged to reflect on and adapt these mindsets and use them as a foundation for responsible, human-centered engagement with AI technologies.
