Technology From Sage Research Explores Academic AI Usage and Confidence
Technology from Sage, a division of Sage, released the fourth installment of its Librarian Futures white paper series: “Librarian Leadership on the AI Frontier” (registration required). Drawing on global surveys of 1,000-plus students and 300 librarians, the data “reveals critical gaps—and opportunities—in how librarians can lead on AI integration in higher education,” Sage notes. “Over half of students reported using AI tools like ChatGPT in their research, but just 8% said their librarians supported them in their use of AI.” In addition, “Students cite uncertainty around academic integrity as a reason for hesitating to use AI in deeper ways.”“The very skills needed to use AI effectively, such as information literacy and critical thinking, are those that librarians excel at, and patron trust in librarians remains high. The call to action is clear: librarians must actively and unapologetically embed themselves in these emerging AI workflows. It’s the most powerful way for the library not just to remain essential, but to lead,” says Matt Hayes, managing director of Technology from Sage. For more information, read the press release.
