In the form of generative AI, libraries are facing technological transformation of unprecedented speed and scale. Both controversial and disruptive, the sudden ubiquity of AI has already triggered uncertainty as well as the need for rapid adaptation. As AI reshapes how humans learn, work, and interact with information, libraries across the ecosystem—from public to academic, from school to special libraries—must resist the temptation to merely serve as static support and instead claim the center by becoming a dynamic, positive influence. In this seminar, author Chris Rosser will discuss how libraries are uniquely positioned to lead AI’s ethical and human-centered integration within communities. He will draw upon his recent book to discuss how librarians can define their role as leaders in the AI conversation. Seminar participants will be entered into a drawing for a free copy of the book.
