Dr. Marco Crivellaro hosts John Papadakis for a second conversation in LibOwl, diving into media literacy, the impact of artificial intelligence on education, libraries, and society, and the significance of understanding the new digital trends of social media to better engage young audiences.
They explore how AI is reshaping research, reading habits, and creative expression, discussing the shift from traditional sources like blogs to dynamic platforms such as social media for literary trends.
The conversation also addresses the use of AI tools in educational settings, the evolving role of libraries in an increasingly digital world, and how prompt engineering is becoming a vital skill. Dr. Crivellaro and Mr. Papadakis delve into ethical debates around AI-generated art, the respect for original creators, and the broader implications for artistic authenticity. Privacy concerns, GDPR regulations, and the urgent need for critical digital literacy are highlighted as key challenges of this technological era. Together, they reflect on how AI is not just a tool, but a transformative force influencing the future of learning, creativity, and communication.
