A group of UGM Library and Archives staff gathered in the Archives Meeting Room on the 2nd floor to participate in the AI Utilization Sharing Session on Friday afternoon (6/12). This event served as an opportunity to explore and understand the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in enhancing library and archival services.
Designed as a collaborative learning space, the session provided a platform for staff to delve into AI technology, which is currently a hot topic in various fields. Guided by Wasilatul Baroroh, S.S.I., a staff member of UGM Library and Archives, the session featured a variety of exciting topics, including prompt generation, article creation, AI detection, image creation, quick drawing, and advanced music creation tools.
“The world of technology is constantly evolving, and we must be ready to adapt. AI can be an incredible tool to support better services for our users,” said Wasilatul.
The session was not just about listening to material but also included hands-on practice. Participants eagerly tried out the platforms introduced during the session. Laughter and excitement filled the room as they experimented with AI to create unique images or generated songs from prompts.
“Wow, so AI can be used to make music too? This is so much fun!” exclaimed Ratna, one of the participants, enthusiastically exploring the music creation feature.
This sharing session reflects the commitment of UGM Library and Archives to continuous development, aligned with efforts to support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education. By learning together, the staff are expected to keep providing innovative and relevant services that meet the needs of the times.
The session concluded with a renewed spirit to implement AI in daily services. Through this initiative, UGM Library and Archives demonstrated that innovation can go hand-in-hand with a spirit of collaborative learning, creating services that are both technologically adaptive and user-centric.
