This workshop\, led by expert leaders and practitioners\, covers personal and organizational privacy as well as top security issues for libraries and their communities\, especially the implications of AI. If you don’t have a security plan in place\, are unsure of where to even start to make sure your library is secure\, or have an existing plan in place but want to cross your T’s and dot your I’s\, come to this interactive workshop. \nhttps://computersinlibraries.infotoday.com/2024/program.aspx#16552 \n\n \n\n \n \n 0\n Shares URL:https://evolveproject.org/event/cybersecurity-privacy-protection-implications-of-ai/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240311T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240311T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T173148 CREATED:20240226T234226Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240311T001215Z UID:1537-1710144000-1710154800@evolveproject.org 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 URL:https://evolveproject.org/event/ai-in-the-library/ CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240301T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240301T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T173148 CREATED:20240227T001516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240301T001516Z UID:1554-1709276400-1709294400@evolveproject.org SUMMARY:Schaumburg Library DESCRIPTION:Keynote: AI: The Modern Day Pandora’s Box \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has unfurled a world of possibilities and opportunities\, but just like Pandora’s box\, it comes with its own set of challenges and ethical conundrums.

Here at the Commission\, he helped a lot with the Tech Kits Through the Mail. If you’ve gotten a kit from us\, it’s because he tracks tech trends\, works with tech gadget startups\, and helps build solid strategies to connect communities with transformative technology. \nHonestly\, he’s helped me a lot over the years. But I can’t be selfish. I decided to share his expertise with you all! Turns out Brian does way more than I ever knew possible. \nIn this session we will get Brian talking about all the cool things he has going on: \n\nExplore how his pilot programs of new games & gadgets are shaping the future of libraries through makerspaces\, innovation spaces\, and leading edge programming\nLearn how Brian helps libraries embrace AI\, VR and AR to revolutionize library services and enhance accessibility and engagement for all.\nDiscover his passion for open-source solutions to drive positive change\, and his recent endeavors with ByWater Solutions\, a leading provider of open-source library software.\nDig into his work with libchalk\, a web hosting platform designed specifically to help libraries host digital content\, websites\, courses\, and online resource libraries.\n\nThe real question is\, what doesn’t he do? He can help your library too. Find out how. \n \nhttps://nlc.nebraska.gov/scripts/calendar/eventshow.asp?ProgID=23544 \n\n \n\n \n \n 0\n Shares URL:https://evolveproject.org/event/ncompass-live-evolve-project-shaping-the-libraries-of-the-future/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
