Welcome to the University Libraries' Guide to AI!  You'll find some resources and tips to help you navigate AI and Generative AI (GenAI).  We have also compiled guidance from Virginia Tech and beyond for your reference.

We recommend to always think when considering use whether it is how accurate the information you receive might be or the possible risks in using (security, copyright or losing credit for your idea)!
