In this episode, we present a conversation between Eva Garcia Grau (Royal Holloway University of London) and Josh Rodda (University of Nottingham), on the topic of generative artificial intelligence and Information Literacy in UK Higher Education. Recorded at the end of a semester's teaching on AI literacy, Eva and Josh discuss how their institutions have responded to the challenges of generative AI, and explore the academic librarian's role in providing guidance. On the way, they discuss accessibility, social justice, ethics, institutional FOMO, and utopian and dystopian visions for the future.
