Artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about new prospects for expanding research in all areas. The presence of artificial intelligence technologies in all spheres of work has made the future promising. The application of AI has contributed immensely to the provision and use of library information resources and has helped to achieve the goals and objectives of the library. Librarians need to be innovative in their thinking to stay relevant in their jobs because AI has found numerous applications in libraries ranging from book filing to book delivery.

A new report released by the Urban Libraries Council outlines five recommendations of how public libraries can use artificial intelligence technologies in their work to serve communities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic for quite some time, but until relatively recently, it still had the patina of science fiction in the minds of many.

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (hereafter “AI”) and machine learning in private and public spheres is rapidly growing. This policy statement aims to outline key considerations for the use of these technologies in the library sector and suggest the roles which libraries should strive to take on in a society with growing AI integration. AI technologies can have deeply transformative capabilities, and their power can be put to the service of public welfare and innovation.

Artificial intelligence technology brings a host of benefits and challenges for publishers and librarians alike. We asked several experts to share their views and experiences on navigating the evolving AI landscape.

2023 was a breakout year for generative artificial intelligence, and librarians are in a position to help patrons work with this technology

Librarians have lived through the disruptions of fax machines, websites and Wikipedia, and now they are bracing to do it again as artificial intelligence tools go mainstream: “Maybe it’s our time to shine.”

These emerging technologies — artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing — will only become more ubiquitous and woven into the fabric of our daily lives, and public library systems and university libraries alike must prepare for this new reality.

This article explores the impact of AI on libraries and professionals, highlighting how AI can improve information organization, accessibility, user services, and library analytics. It also emphasizes the importance of AI literacy for both librarians and patrons in today's society.
