INNOVATIVE LIBRARIES: VISIONARY LEADERS' REFLECTIONS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE'S POTENTIAL IMPACT ON ACADEMIC LIBRARY DYNAMICS

Abstract

There has been a significant increase Affection in artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years. In this paper, the purpose is to is to summarize current perceptions about the examine the impact of artificial intelligence on academic libraries.During the course of this study, 32 library directors, educators, and publishers were interviewed.Participants discussed how artificial intelligence is affecting search capabilities, resource discovery, scholarly publishing, and educational frameworks in their presentations. Libraries may be marginalized in development initiatives, ethical dilemmas arise from AI integration, and decisions are not transparent. In addition, there were concerns about job displacement. There are, however, numerous potential roles for academic libraries, ranging from data acquisition to data curation to the acquisition of AI tools and the establishment of essential infrastructure. In addition, these roles extended to facilitating user navigation and supporting initiatives intended to enhance Information expertise. This paper examines contemporary expectations regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on academic libraries. A library's "intelligent library" is proposed by the authors as a framework for encapsulating AI's potential ramifications.
