Hyped by some as the single-most consequential shift ever in computing and repudiated by others who fear that it will stifle our students' critical and creative thinking, various forms of artificial intelligence continue to pervade our lives and the technology tools we use each day. As a response, scholars and educators are grappling with what it means to be "AI literate." In this session, we will explore a number of generative AI tools for writing (such as ChatGPT and Rytr) and research (such as Perplexity and Research Rabbit), considering the ways in which we may choose to integrate AI into our own classrooms. As the MLA-CCCC Joint Task Force on Writing and AI contends, we must “[c]enter the continued teaching and learning of writing on writers and the inherent value that writing has as a mode of learning, exploration, and literacy development for all writers.” (p. 10). For all of us in education, as we teach our students to be readers, writers, and thinkers in various disciplines, AI tools will continue to become enmeshed in the work that we all do, both as instructors and as learners. Here, we begin to explore how we might engage with these tools in productive, ethical, and responsible ways
