As previously noted, the Slack has two existing channels: #generative-ai and #ai-ml-dl. I renewed the invite link I posted last month, it will now work through June 20th.

Another suggestion, perhaps better than a listserv, might be creating a dedicated channel in the main C4L Slack server. I imagine that might allow more organic discussion, while also allowing others to join at will.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi all!
Thanks for your patience while I thought through the best way to approach this!
I think because there are a number of people I know that are not on this listserv, I wanted to start something separate. I was able to setup a separate listserv here at northwestern. Everyone who showed interest earlier should be getting an email shortly! Hopefully this works for people, can pivot if needed and this doesn’t feel like the right solution.

Hi Mackenzie, Alison, & David,
Please count me in! I am leading our AI augmentation efforts at Stanford’s Lane medical library, and I’m also looking for a community to share best/emerging practices. (If a community does not yet exist, let’s start one!)
Sincerely,
