<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, everyone:<span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know there’s a webinar in January on AI and Ancillary Creation, but we’re wondering how PI/Project Directors are handling the use of AI in the OER projects. We’re planning to address it at one of project meetings with faculty authors
 and creating a  guide of considerations. Has anyone else had these conversations with their faculty authors?

<p class="MsoNormal">Would love to hear how everyone is planning to address the issues and concerns that come with generative AI. And of course, we’re happy to share whatever we come up with as well.
