About the Session

Join Dr. Kari D. Weaver (University of Waterloo) as she introduces the newly launched Artificial Intelligence Disclosure (AID) Framework. As artificial intelligence (AI) tools—particularly generative AI based on large language models—become widely available, their use across education and research must be negotiated. The AID Framework tool provides a transparent, consistent, and targeted approach to attribute the use of AI in teaching and research work. The AID Framework can also serve as a solid foundation for discussing the ethical and productive use of AI across different contexts. This workshop will introduce the elements of the AID Framework, provide examples of AID statements used for both education and research purposes, and address some common questions and adaptations made to the AID Framework worldwide.

Speaker

Dr. Kari D. Weaver (she/her) is the learning, teaching, and instructional design librarian at the University of Waterloo Libraries and a sessional faculty member in the department of leadership, higher, and adult education at the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. She holds her M.L.I.S. from the University of Rhode Island and her Ed.D. from the University of South Carolina and has been a practicing academic librarian for 18 years at institutions in the United States and Canada.  

Dr. Weaver’s extensive research background centers on the intersection of human information behavior and pedagogy. She publishes on a wide range of topics including information literacy, academic integrity, generative artificial intelligence, misinformation, scientific communication, educational research methods, online learning, and digital accessibility. Professionally, she is an executive member of the Trust in Research Undertaken in Science and Technology Scholarly Network (TRuST), an invited member of the American Library Association’s prestigious Intellectual Freedom Committee, and a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians’ (CAPAL) Research and Scholarship Committee. Her current work, including the development of the AID Framework, is conducted on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples, location of the main campus of the University of Waterloo.
