This page aims to highlight some of the discussion around generative AI tools as well as the impact of artificial intelligence on health care. It is and cannot be comprehensive given the pace of new and refined products. I will add resources that stand out through my many communications but please share any resource you would like to see here.
Library licensed database vendors are starting to add AI Assistant technologies. We will do our best to learn about them as soon as we can!
