Change starts with informed communities.

Yesterday's decision by Mississauga City Council marks an important step toward ensuring future development considers both environmental sustainability and the well-being of residents.
The conversation doesn't end here, but continues over the next year as research, community engagement, and accountability shape what comes next.

As AI continues to transform how we learn, research, and create, one question remains at the heart of academia: how do we give credit where credit is due? 🔎

In the third and final episode of From Prompt to Paper, we conclude our conversation with Joanna Szurmak, M.A.Sc., M.I.St. from the UTM Library by exploring the evolving relationship between AI, scholarly recognition, and the future of higher education.

• Why do citations matter beyond avoiding plagiarism?
• What are some of the most common mistakes students make when using AI?
• How should students document and disclose AI use in their academic work?
• What should students know about AI, data collection, privacy, and information harvesting?
• Who are some of the pioneering women whose work helped shape the field of artificial intelligence?

From academic integrity and responsible AI use to privacy concerns and the people behind the technology, this episode brings together some of the most important conversations students should be having about AI today.
