Description:

Join us for a tech forum discussing current applications and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academic libraries. AI has been gaining increasing popularity in scholarly works and across major conferences. McGill University Liaison Librarian for Management, Business, and Entrepreneurship, Amanda Wheatley, will examine the current state of AI initiatives in academic libraries in the US and Canada, as well preliminary survey findings of librarians perceptions of AI. University of Guelph Librarian Emeritus, Michael Ridley, will provide an overview of "explainable AI" or XAI, and a discussion of specific ways in which it relates to the mission of the academic library and to its services.


ACRL ULS is committed to exploring uses of technology in university libraries in areas such as instruction, reference, and outreach, and to offering selective guidance and information to aid academic librarians in employing new technologies.
