Keynote by Matt Hayes MD of Technology from Sage, the library services division of Sage publishing.

He has a doctorate in Global Citizenship Education from UCL's Institute of Education and is leading a citizenship initiative for teenagers called ‘Citizens’ funded by Innovate UK, the UK national’s innovation agency. |
AI Consequences
If literature reviews can be AI generated, will they become redundant? If they become redundant, what alternatives will we use to evidence expertise and originality?
This is one of many examples of the challenges AI will pose to our sector. In this keynote, Matt will lead an interactive session of ‘AI Consequences’, exploring the potential futures that, whilst they may be initiated by AI, will ultimately be determined by how we, as stakeholders, adopt, iterate and change. |
