Navigating the AI shift: Considerations and initiatives in shaping education at ACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing tertiary education and the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT) is actively navigating this transformative landscape. ACT evaluates how AI is used, its impact on educational procedures, and ethical academic effectiveness and success. This presentation explores ACT’s efforts to incorporate AI into the institution’s policies, how AI is being implemented, and the initiatives the institution takes towards an AI-informed community. Of course, the library’s role in adapting this new technology is being presented while relating it to learning, raising awareness, and supporting the institution. We will refer to current library practices while targeting the goal of becoming the central hub for AI resources and AI literacy initiatives. We envision a future where AI plays a significant role in pedagogical approaches to
information literacy teaching. A future where information literacy cultivates faculty and students to effectively and ethically use AI for educational, professional, and personal purposes.
