We're happy to announce a new exhibition, #SuperchargedbyAI, a creative intervention about the effects of AI on our online lives. The University of Bath Library is one of 50 libraries in Europe to feature this exhibition.

What's it all about?

AI-generated content, from chatbots to deepfakes, is becoming more prevalent online. New AI tools make it easier, faster, and cheaper to create text, images, videos, and more. However, these advancements also amplify existing online harms like scams, harassment, polarization, and bias.

AI is now being used to create fake news, mimic reality, and influence public opinions and behaviours in ways that are nearly undetectable. These AI models, trained on biased datasets, can reinforce stereotypes and have real-world consequences. How can we stay informed about this rapidly evolving technology?

The 'Supercharged by AI: synthetic and out of control' exhibition address the above issues through a range of interactive elements. It is paired with the Data Detox Kit’s new Essential Guide to AI, a free to collect hand out offering practical tips to help us navigate these challenges in our online lives.

Can I visit the exhibition?

Yes! We are encouraging all of our staff, students and alumni to explore the exhibition. We also encourage colleagues from other institutions and members of the public to visit. Our foyer and exhibition space is open to all visitors, 24/7. For more information see our campus map.

For visitors who would also like to enter the rest of the Library, please be aware that we will be very busy during the assessment period which runs to 25 January. We then immediately enter Semester 2. Please check our guide to visiting the Library for when and how to do so.
