Abstract
Taylor Greene gave a presentation connecting AI Literacy to his work not only as the liaison to the Hall-Musco Conservatory of Music but also more broadly in his role as Chair of Research and Instructional Services. He began by providing an overview of Chapman University’s cautious approach to embracing generative AI and highlighted the library’s role in supporting faculty, staff, librarians, and students in better understanding these technologies and their potential impact on higher education. He summarized the work of the AI Task Force and offered a general overview of the AI Literacy lectures that he and Dr. Doug Dechow usually present. Greene then described how he has incorporated AI Literacy into his two music courses—Music Information Literacy and Research Methods for Performers—sharing examples of music-specific applications of generative AI technologies discussed in those classes.
Following this, Greene facilitated an interactive discussion by posing a series of questions aimed at generating new ideas and best practices, drawing on both his own experiences and those of his music librarian colleagues at other institutions. The discussion revealed that many participants were still grappling with how to address generative AI and anticipate its effects on music studies. One MLACC member in attendance, who is deeply involved with MLA’s cataloging groups, shared insights into how AI is currently being tested and evaluated for applications such as linked data development.
