We are at a historic turning point for libraries, where artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool that can redefine how they operate and engage with their communities. From automating repetitive tasks like cataloging to personalizing patron experiences with tailored recommendations, AI offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, creativity, and accessibility. For libraries—trusted institutions at the heart of knowledge dissemination—this moment demands a strategic approach to harness AI’s potential while preserving core values of equity, access, and intellectual freedom.
This 90-minute online event is designed for library management and staff seeking to explore the challenges and opportunities AI presents, highlighting critical areas for consideration, and outlining strategies for informed decision-making while navigating the transformative potential of AI in libraries.
