Key considerations

Here’s a checklist of ways for you to keep up to date with how generative AI is impacting the world:

Subscribe to newsletters or follow blogs that cover generative AI-related news and developments such as The Conversation or OpenAI's blog.

Use Library Search to find and read generative AI research papers and other scholarly information.

Experiment with generative AI projects to gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how the models work.

Look at the research emerging from Deakin Institutes and academics such as the Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute A2I2 or Research for Educational Impact.

Follow thought leaders in generative AI on social media like Ian Goodfellow, Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Allie Miller, Yuka Kojima, Yoshua Bengio, or Anima Anandkumar.

Work through free generative AI focused modules or other learning material such as LinkedIn Learning.

Generative AI is a constantly evolving field. Staying up-to-date is important but your own critical evaluation of generative AI information is key.
