Webinar: AI-Driven Metadata Workflows, Professional Competencies, and the Future of Metadata Governance
Sponsored by: ASIS&T South Asia Chapter in collaboration with the DCMI Education Committee
The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the practices of metadata creation and management. Drawing from two survey studies of perceived impact of AI on metadata practices (n=752) and academic librarians’ perceptions about new skills and competencies (n=155), this presentation will explore the complex relationships among metadata tasks, metadata workflows and AI tools, identify the new skills and competencies needed for academic librarians and provide implications for metadata governance.
