AM26 Workshop

Building AI and Navigating AI Regulatory and Policy Landscapes

This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and users to examine experiences and perceptions of AI development and governance across diverse settings. It comprises (i) a hands-on training session in which participants will build and evaluate AI tools and agentic systems using both code-based and no-code approaches within the TACTIC framework, and (ii) research presentations accompanied by critical discussion of ongoing challenges and emerging research.

More About this Workshop

The ethical development and use of AI in libraries require robust governance and regulatory frameworks that account for the transnational nature of AI systems. A key challenge lies in defining the scope of regulation, including material (what is regulated), personal (who), territorial (where), and temporal (when) dimensions (Schuett, 2023). This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and users to examine experiences and perceptions of AI development and governance across diverse settings. In the hands-on development session, participants will build and evaluate AI tools and agentic systems using both code-based and no-code approaches through the TACTIC framework. Through engagement with real-world practices and user perspectives, the workshop advances best practices in AI governance and equips participants with practical strategies for responsible AI design, deployment, and oversight.
