SUMMARY:AI in the Library
DESCRIPTION:While AI holds tremendous potential for libraries\, it also comes with significant concerns and the potential for harm. We find ourselves sailing uncertain waters; there are few guardrails governing AI’s use. Even as we acknowledge this truth\, we must also note that library staff are already experimenting with the use of AI chatbots (most commonly ChatGPT)\, generative AI design tools (like Midjourney)\, and other variations of AI technology. In short\, we have great potential\, pitfalls\, and a total lack of clarity. It is only through the thoughtful development of policy\, procedure\, and professionals that we can hope to articulate a vision for the ethical use of AI in our libraries. Join this conversation about new disruptive technology\, take a deep breath\, and get to work laying a foundation of policy guidelines and staff development to navigate the uncertain road ahead. \n \nhttps://computersinlibraries.infotoday.com/2024/program.aspx#16540 \n\n    \n\n		\n            \n                0\n                Shares
