The WVU Art in the Libraries committee is seeking input on an exhibit titled “Artificial Intelligence: Shaping Futures, Impacting Lives” to launch in August 2025.
For the WVU Art in the Libraries sixth collaborative,
multidisciplinary exhibition, Exhibits Coordinator Sally Brown is inviting the WVU community to explore how artificial
intelligence might impact fields of study, work, career readiness, community
engagement and/or daily life.
What will the use of these applications change about, for
example, fields such as engineering, science, design, business, media,
agriculture, education, the humanities, the arts, community development? How is
AI already impacting you?
The exhibit will debut at WVU Libraries in the fall of 2025
and become part of the Research
Repository of WVU.
We invite all WVU faculty, classes, staff, and groups to
develop and submit content to be included in the exhibit.
Here are a few ways to participate:
Faculty might invite someone from the Libraries into a class
session to do an interactive brainstorming exercise around the topic as it
relates to your field of study, or use our Activity Guide to help
outline a project.
Undergraduate students might work individually or in teams
to ideate how AI will impact their careers using an AI platform of choice. Graduate students might engage with
students/faculty/community with a survey to formulate how AI is/will impact
their industry. All students can earn iServe hours for
participating.
Scholars/staff might consider individually how AI is already
impacting their line of work and submit a personal response.
For more ideas, check out all the resources listed on the exhibit’s page and on the LibGuide or watch this informational video by Computer Science Professor Mohamed Hefeida.
If you want to bounce an idea off Exhibits Coordinator Sally
Brown, contact her at sally.brown1@mail.wvu.edu.
Contributions may range from the small to the large,
tailored to suit your objectives or idea. The only mandate is to grapple with
how AI may impact the future.
Content should be submitted via this form, including each
participant’s name, email, title, department, a brief summary, any
links/images, and an allowance for additional information. We encourage
interactive ideas. Submission deadline is May 31.
The WVU Humanities Center is a collaborating partner. If your department or organization is interested in being involved in the exhibit development, promotion or programming, please contact Brown, sally.brown1@mail.wvu.edu.
