The goals of Workshop 1 are that you will learn how to use Credo Reference database and, potentially, that you will find sources for Essay 1 on how AI will affect your chosen profession or calling. For now, I suggest you research Credo to find a recent article that shows how AI in general will change the future of work. After watching the videos on How to Access Academic Databases and How to Use Credo Reference, do a search in Credo Reference AI, large language models (LLMs), and machine learning. That’s a total of three searches.
For each term, find a recently published source that offers a clear and helpful definition of AI related to the future of work. That’s at least three separate sources. Note that Credo Reference is not the source (Credo is the digital library where you find sources). Quote a definition for each topic and then paraphrase the definition in your own words.
What to Submit:
Giving crediting to your source (in-text citation), quote a definition of each topic from a source in Credo. After each quote, paraphrase the definition in your own words without changing the meaning.
Example:
1. The Gale Encyclopedia of U.S. Economic History defines the video game industry as “a multi-billion-dollar segment of the broader entertainment industry responsible for the development, production, marketing, and sales of video game software and consoles.” Put another way, the video game industry includes all the people and companies that create and sell video games to the public.
2. According to the Encyclopedia of Emerging Industries, autonomous vehicles can be defined as “an automobile that has the artificial intelligence to drive and coordinate its movement in road traffic without human input.” In other words, autonomous vehicles are cars and trucks that use computers to get from one place to another, without the need for human drivers.
3. In the Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace and Conflict, police brutality is defined as “the use of excessive force by the police against members of the public.” That is, police brutality is an act of violence against a civilian which is not justified.
