🎧 At a time when #ConspiracyTheories, #FakeNews and #HateSpeech are dividing society, how do we allow for differing opinions when we can't even seem to agree on basic facts? In our latest podcast episode, our author Sarah Pohl explains how we can overcome our filter bubbles. 1/3

„Warum haben wir denn gerade so eine Spaltung? Wo fühlen sich Menschen auf emotionaler Ebene nicht mehr gehört? … Man müsste sehr viel stärker – auch von politischer und Medienseite – diese Emotionen aufgreifen und deutlich machen: Es gibt andere Wege.“

When we asked academic librarians for their views on #AI use they had... feelings. Among 300+ librarians from 31 countries, most agreed that AI was considered a legitimate tool at their institution. Yet compared to academic staff and administrators, they were far more cautious in their acceptance.
