Generative AI is an emerging technology and there is some debate about how AI is training and using copyrighted materials. See below for some resources on this topic,

• Emory University Libraries has a list of articles and resources on copyright and AI.  

AI also comes with some potential effects on the environment. See below for some resources on AI and the environment.

• Georgia Southern University has resources on the pros and cons of AI and the environment.

Issues/Limitations of AI:

• Bias - in the training or in the code
• Hallucinations - Hallucinations are when AI presents fake or misleading information as fact. For example, AI creates a citation for a journal or book that looks real but that does not exist.  
• Privacy and Data Security - When you use AI, you are sharing information with the AI company. Your privacy or data could be used by the company so be careful about sharing any personal information or data.
