\u201dTeko\u00e4ly alkaa kyll\u00e4 olla jokap\u00e4iv\u00e4inen puheenaihe\u201d, toteaa kollegani Taisa Teams -puhelussa tietokoneeni ruudulla. Toinen kollegani Laura ny\u00f6kyttelee Taisan yl\u00e4puolella, ja samaa mielt\u00e4 olen min\u00e4kin. V\u00e4lill\u00e4 teko\u00e4lypuhe v\u00e4sytt\u00e4\u00e4, v\u00e4lill\u00e4 innostaa \u2013 aivan niin kuin v\u00e4sytt\u00e4v\u00e4t ja innostavat l\u00e4hes kaikki toimintaamme ja ty\u00f6t\u00e4mme muokkaavat ty\u00f6kalut ja ilmi\u00f6t. Teko\u00e4ly on tullut nopeasti osaksi tieteellisen tiedon hakemista ja tiedonhaun opettajien ty\u00f6t\u00e4. On siis hyv\u00e4 hetki istahtaa alas ja kysy\u00e4, millaisia ajatuksia teko\u00e4lyn k\u00e4ytt\u00f6 her\u00e4tt\u00e4\u00e4 kahdessa tieteellisen tiedonhaun konkarissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mit\u00e4 hy\u00f6ty\u00e4 teko\u00e4lyst\u00e4 on tiedonhaussa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> Min\u00e4 puhun nyt erityisesti tietokantojen sis\u00e4lle integroituneista teko\u00e4lyty\u00f6kaluista eli teko\u00e4lyavustajista. T\u00e4llaisia avustajia on mm. UEF-Primossa<\/a>, Scopuksessa<\/a> ja Web of Science<\/bdo>ssa<\/a>. N\u00e4it\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4sev\u00e4t k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n vain UEFilaiset, eli n\u00e4m\u00e4 ty\u00f6kalut ovat maksullisia. Tietokantoihin integroituneiden teko\u00e4lyavustajien toimintaperiaatehan on se, ett\u00e4 ne tekev\u00e4t tiivistelm\u00e4n kysymykseesi tietokannassa olevan aineiston perusteella ja laittavat tiivistelm\u00e4ss\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4ns\u00e4 l\u00e4hteet n\u00e4kyville. N\u00e4m\u00e4 avustajat ovat hyvi\u00e4 erityisesti uuteen aiheeseen tutustuessa. Niiden avulla saa nopeasti p\u00e4\u00e4kohdat selville. Aiemmin kun sai eteens\u00e4 tuntemattomamman aiheen, saattoi menn\u00e4 lukemaan vaikkapa Wikipediaa saadakseen asiasta edes jonkinlaisen kokonaiskuvan. Nyt t\u00e4m\u00e4n kokonaiskuvan tarjoaa teko\u00e4lyavustaja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyv\u00e4\u00e4 on my\u00f6s se, ett\u00e4 tiedonhakijan ei tarvitse heti osata kaikkia hakutekniikoita toimiakseen tietokannoissa, sill\u00e4 muutamassa tietokannassa voi artikkeleita ja muita l\u00e4hteit\u00e4 hakea suoraan kysym\u00e4ll\u00e4. Alkuun p\u00e4\u00e4seminen on siis helpompaa. Hakua voi sitten jatkaa tarvittaessa itse perinteisemmin menetelmin. Joihinkin tiedontarpeisiin t\u00e4llainen teko\u00e4lyavusteinen haku tietokannassa on ihan riitt\u00e4v\u00e4 \u2013 erityisesti silloin, kun aihetta ei ole tarve kaivella syvemmin tai kattavammin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> Jos ajatellaan muita kuin tietokantojen sis\u00e4lle integroituja teko\u00e4lyavustajia, on esimerkiksi Copilot<\/bdo> aika hyv\u00e4 terminologiassa. Se osaa ehdottaa hakusanoja, joita ei aina tule itse ajatelleeksi. Se on my\u00f6s hyv\u00e4 l\u00f6yt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n synonyymeja. Hakusanojen ideoinnissa voi siis s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4 aikaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miten itse k\u00e4yt\u00e4t teko\u00e4ly\u00e4 tiedonhaussa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> Itse k\u00e4yt\u00e4n teko\u00e4ly\u00e4 juurikin hakusanojen ideoinnissa. Kaikki teko\u00e4lyn ehdottamat hakusanat eiv\u00e4t tosin aina ole sellaisenaan toimivia, vaan sielt\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 osata poimia parhaat. Lis\u00e4ksi jos tiet\u00e4\u00e4, miten tietokannoista haetaan, voi esimerkiksi Copilot<\/bdo>ia pyyt\u00e4\u00e4 tekem\u00e4\u00e4n kokonaisia hakulauseita. T\u00e4m\u00e4 edellytt\u00e4\u00e4 kuitenkin jo jonkin verran tiedonhaun osaamista, sill\u00e4 teko\u00e4lyn ehdottamia hakulauseita pit\u00e4\u00e4 pysty\u00e4 tarkastelemaan kriittisesti. Eri tietokannat my\u00f6s toimivat v\u00e4h\u00e4n erilaisilla tekniikoilla. Teko\u00e4ly voi auttaa k\u00e4\u00e4nt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n n\u00e4it\u00e4 hakuja tietokannasta toiseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> Min\u00e4kin k\u00e4yt\u00e4n erityisesti Copilot<\/bdo>ia hakusanojen ideoinnissa. Pyyd\u00e4n esimerkiksi \u201dteen hakua artikkelitietokannassa aiheesta x, mieti minulle hakusanoja\u201d. Olen kuitenkin viime aikoina huomannut, ett\u00e4 t\u00e4m\u00e4 ei en\u00e4\u00e4 v\u00e4ltt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 toimi kovin hyvin. Hakusanoja ja -k\u00e4sitteit\u00e4 voi tulla valtavat listat, ja osa sanoista on hyvinkin ep\u00e4relevantteja. Olenkin testailemassa, toimisiko suora k\u00e4sky \u201danna minulle synonyymej\u00e4 k\u00e4sitteelle se-ja-se\u201d jatkossa paremmin. Taisa mainitsi my\u00f6s hakulausekkeiden tekemisen teko\u00e4lyn avulla. Itse en k\u00e4yt\u00e4 teko\u00e4ly\u00e4 t\u00e4h\u00e4n tarkoitukseen; olen huomannut, ett\u00e4 kun on 25 vuotta veivannut hakulauseita itse, teko\u00e4ly ei tee parempia eik\u00e4 s\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4 aikaani. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 suhteessa kokemus siis viel\u00e4 p\u00e4ihitt\u00e4\u00e4 teko\u00e4lyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millaisia huolia her\u00e4\u00e4 teko\u00e4lyn k\u00e4yt\u00f6st\u00e4 tiedonhaussa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> Kun kaikki on helppoa ja nopeaa ja tuloskin n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 hyv\u00e4lt\u00e4, ei asioiden paikkaansapit\u00e4vyytt\u00e4 aina malta tarkistaa. Vaikka tietokantoihin integroituneet teko\u00e4lyavustajat k\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4t tiivistelmiens\u00e4 pohjana aitoja l\u00e4hteit\u00e4, teko\u00e4ly voi tulkita asioita v\u00e4\u00e4rin tai v\u00e4\u00e4ristyneesti. Mit\u00e4 v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n tied\u00e4t aiheesta, sen vaikeampaa on kriittinen arviointi. Teko\u00e4lyn tekem\u00e4\u00e4n hakuun on my\u00f6s vaikeampi vaikuttaa itse, sill\u00e4 se ei ole aina kovin l\u00e4pin\u00e4kyv\u00e4. Perinteisell\u00e4 hakutavalla voi omaa hakulausettaan muokata ja n\u00e4in vaikuttaa hakuun ja sen tuloksiin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> Minulla her\u00e4\u00e4 v\u00e4lill\u00e4 huoli siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 tehd\u00e4\u00e4n koko tiedonhaku teko\u00e4lyll\u00e4 eik\u00e4 haeta en\u00e4\u00e4 laisinkaan tietokannoista. Teko\u00e4ly keksii tutkimuksia ja l\u00e4hteit\u00e4, joita ei ole olemassa. Teko\u00e4lyn ehdottamien l\u00e4hteiden tarkistaminen onkin tosi t\u00e4rke\u00e4\u00e4, niihin ei voi sokeasti luottaa. V\u00e4lill\u00e4 minua mietitytt\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s se, osataanko promptata oikein. Olisi hyv\u00e4 ymm\u00e4rt\u00e4\u00e4, ett\u00e4 toisena p\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 samalla k\u00e4skyll\u00e4 tulee eri tulokset. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on aika tyypillist\u00e4 laajoihin kielimalleihin perustuville teko\u00e4lyty\u00f6kaluille. Hakujen toistettavuus on siis mahdotonta. Tiedonhaku on joissakin opinn\u00e4ytteiss\u00e4 ja tutkimuksissa tutkimusmenetelm\u00e4. Se pit\u00e4\u00e4 osata tehd\u00e4 itse, raportoida oikein ja sen pit\u00e4\u00e4 nimenomaan olla toistettavissa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Molempia kollegoitani \u2013 kuten minua itse\u00e4nikin \u2013 mietitytt\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s teko\u00e4lyn k\u00e4yt\u00f6n ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6n\u00e4k\u00f6kulma. Kukapa haluaisi en\u00e4\u00e4 kuormittaa jo valmiiksi kuormittunutta ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6\u00e4mme! Keskustelemmekin pitk\u00e4\u00e4n siit\u00e4 ristiriidasta, ett\u00e4 teko\u00e4lyty\u00f6kaluja on pakko testata ja ottaa k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n, jos haluaa seurata tiedonhaun kehityst\u00e4. Tulemme lopulta laihasti lohduttavaan johtop\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6kseen, ett\u00e4 k\u00e4yt\u00e4mme teko\u00e4ly\u00e4 niin v\u00e4h\u00e4n kuin nykyaikana tietoty\u00f6ss\u00e4 on mahdollista, ja ainoastaan asiallisiin asioihin. Aika on ajanut ohi hupimieless\u00e4 tehdyist\u00e4 videop\u00e4tkist\u00e4 ja teko\u00e4lyn luomista kuvituskuvista, mutta tietokantoihin teko\u00e4ly on varmasti tullut j\u00e4\u00e4d\u00e4kseen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna jokin vinkki teko\u00e4lyn k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n joko tiedonhaussa tai muuten vain tietoty\u00f6ss\u00e4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> Ilahduin joku p\u00e4iv\u00e4 siit\u00e4, miten Copilot <\/bdo>osaa auttaa tietoteknisiss\u00e4 ongelmissa. Ennen olisin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4nyt paljon aikaa toimimattoman j\u00e4rjestelm\u00e4n kanssa kamppailemiseen, mutta nyt Copilot <\/bdo>l\u00f6ysi ratkaisun hetkess\u00e4. Haluan my\u00f6s vinkata, ett\u00e4 teko\u00e4ly tiedonhaussa etenee nopeasti. Ei kannata j\u00e4m\u00e4ht\u00e4\u00e4 yhteen, joskus k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 olleeseen ty\u00f6kaluun, esim. ChatGPT<\/bdo>hen, jonka monet ovat ottaneet pysyv\u00e4ksi ty\u00f6kalukseen. Koko ajan tulee uutta ja tapahtuu kehityst\u00e4, ja pienen testailun tuloksena voi l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 jokin paljon paremman ty\u00f6kalun omaan k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6ns\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> Tunne k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4si teko\u00e4ly. Tutustu siihen, miten avoimen verkon laajat kielimallit, kuten Copilot <\/bdo>tai ChatGPT<\/bdo>, toimivat. Onko niill\u00e4 esimerkiksi p\u00e4\u00e4sy\u00e4 maksullisiin tietokantoihin? Vertaa edell\u00e4 mainittuja teko\u00e4lysovelluksia tietokantoihin integroituneisiin teko\u00e4lyavustajiin ja mieti, mik\u00e4 niiden ero on. T\u00e4m\u00e4 auttaa tieteellisen tiedon hakemisessa jo pitk\u00e4lle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArtificial intelligence really is becoming an everyday topic of conversation,\u201d my colleague Taisa remarks in a Teams call on my computer screen. Another colleague, Laura, nods above Taisa\u2019s window, and I agree as well. At times, all this talk about AI feels tiring; at other times, it\u2019s exciting \u2013 much like almost all the tools and phenomena that shape how we work and operate.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly become part of searching for scholarly information and of the everyday work of information literacy teachers. So this feels like a good moment to sit down and ask what kinds of thoughts the use of AI raises in two experienced experts in academic information searching.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of artificial intelligence fo<\/bdo>r<\/bdo> information searching?<\/bdo><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a good thing that information seekers don\u2019t need to immediately master all search techniques to function within databases, because in some databases you can search for articles and other sources simply by asking a question. Getting started is therefore easier. If needed, the search can then be continued independently using more traditional methods. For certain information needs, this kind of AI-assisted database searching is perfectly sufficient<\/bdo> \u2013 especially when there is no need to explore the topic more deeply or comprehensively.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> If we think about AI tools other than those integrated into databases, Copilot, for example, is quite good with terminology. It can suggest search terms that you might not think of yourself. It\u2019s also good at finding synonyms. So, when brainstorming search terms, it can save a lot of time.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you use artificial intelligence for information searching?<\/bdo><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> I mainly use AI specifically for brainstorming search terms. Not all of the search terms suggested by AI are directly usable, though \u2013 you have to be able to pick out the best ones. In addition, if you already know how database searching works, you can ask tools like Copilot to create complete search queries. This does require a certain level of information-searching expertise, because you need to be able to critically evaluate the search queries suggested by AI. Different databases also operate using slightly different techniques. AI can help translate these searches from one database to another.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> I also mainly use Copilot for generating search terms. For example, I might ask, \u201cI\u2019m doing a search in an article database on topic X \u2013 come up with search terms for me.\u201d Recently, however, I\u2019ve noticed that this doesn\u2019t necessarily work very well anymore. The lists of search terms and concepts can become enormous, and some of the terms are highly irrelevant. I\u2019m now experimenting with whether a more direct command like \u201cgive me synonyms for concept X\u201d might work better going forward.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa <\/bdo>also mentioned creating search queries with the help of AI. I don\u2019t use AI for that purpose myself; I\u2019ve noticed that after 25 years of crafting search queries by hand, AI doesn\u2019t do it any better, or save me any time. In this respect, experience still outperforms AI.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What concerns do you have about using AI in information searching?<\/bdo><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura: <\/strong>When everything is easy and fast and the result looks good, you don\u2019t always have the patience to check whether things are actually correct. Even though AI assistants integrated into databases base their summaries on genuine sources, AI can still misinterpret or distort information. The less you know about a topic, the harder it is to evaluate the results critically. It is also more difficult for the user to influence an AI-driven search, because the process is not always very transparent. With traditional searching, you can modify your own search query and thereby influence the search process and its results.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> I sometimes worry that people will do their entire information search using AI and no longer search databases at all. AI can invent studies and sources that don\u2019t actually exist. That\u2019s why it\u2019s extremely important to verify the sources suggested by AI \u2013 you can\u2019t trust them blindly. I\u2019m also sometimes concerned about whether people know how to prompt AI properly. It would be good to understand that the same prompt can produce different results on different days. This is quite typical of AI tools based on large language models. As a result, searches are not reproducible. In some theses and research projects, information searching is a research method in its own right. It must be done by the researcher<\/bdo>s<\/bdo> themselves, reported properly, and \u2013 crucially \u2013 it needs to be reproducible.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of my colleagues \u2013 like myself \u2013 are also concerned about the environmental impact of using artificial intelligence. Who would want to further burden an environment that is already under strain? We spend a long time discussing the dilemma that, in order to keep up with developments in information searching, AI tools must be tested and adopted. In the end, we arrive at only a thinly comforting conclusion: we use AI as little as possible in today\u2019s knowledge work, and only for legitimate purposes. The time for AI-generated images and light\u2011hearted video clips has passed, but AI has certainly come to stay within databases.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give a tip for using AI in information searching or in knowledge work more generally<\/bdo><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laura: <\/strong>The other day, I was pleasantly surprised by how well Copilot can help with technical IT problems. In the past, I would have spent a lot of time struggling with a malfunctioning system, but this time Copilot found a solution almost instantly. I also want to point out that AI in information searching is developing very quickly. It\u2019s not a good idea to get stuck with a single tool that you may have used in the past \u2013 such as ChatGPT \u2013 which many people have adopted as a permanent tool. New tools are constantly emerging and development is ongoing, and with a bit of experimentation you may find a much better tool for your own needs.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taisa:<\/strong> Get to know the AI tool you are using. Familiarize yourself with how large language models available on the open web, such as Copilot or ChatGPT, actually work. For example, do they have access to subscription-based, academic databases? Compare these AI applications with AI assistants that are integrated directly into databases, and consider what the differences between them are. This kind of understanding already goes a long way when searching for scholarly information.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura:<\/strong> I\u2019m speaking here especially about AI tools that are integrated directly into databases \u2013 <\/bdo> so-called AI assistants. Such assistants are available, for example, in UEF Primo<\/a>, Scopus<\/a>, and Web of Science<\/a>. These AI assistants are subscription-based and can be accessed by members of UEF. The basic idea behind these tools is that they generate a summary in response to your question based on the material available in the database and display the sources used for that summary. These assistants are particularly useful when you are getting acquainted with a new topic. They help you quickly grasp the main points. Previously, when encountering an unfamiliar subject, you might have gone to read Wikipedia just to get some kind of overall picture. Now, that overview is provided by an AI assistant.<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n
