The search assistant being tested is in training and improves the more it is used, but currently it still has limitations.
As can happen with any generative artificial intelligence tool. It is important to always check the summaries generated by the search engine against the original sources to make sure that it is complete and correct.
What's the story behind LIA?
The entire UOC Community was invited to take part in the pilot test of a generative AI search assistant at the start of the academic year. The response was very positive: the assistant was asked nearly 50,000 questions between September and December. A form was created to assess user experience, and was completed by 101 people. Some 92%of the respondents said that they would use the assistant again when searching for information. The Library team is working to improve the UOC Community's experience when searching for information. With this in mind, it is launching several projects and preparing content like the new website AI and innovation: a new horizon, where you can find updated information about generative AI.
