SUMMARY:Uncharted Together:  Navigating AI’s New Frontiers in Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Journey into the heart of innovation where the collaborative spirit between information professionals\, technologists\, and researchers illuminates the path forward through AI’s uncharted territories.  Join Brian Pichman as we explore the the history of Artificial Intelligence\, how its evolved over the years\, and how its transforming today’s frontiers. We will explore a variety of tools and strategies that leverage AI including some new ideas that may enhance cataloging\, unlock personalized user experiences\, or pioneer new ways to access specialized research. As with any frontier exploration\, we will confront shared ethical challenges and explore how joint efforts can not only navigate but also shape AI’s impact on equitable access and information integrity in our libraries.  \n\n    \n\n		\n            \n                0\n                Shares
