AI can be used in a variety of different ways. During this session, we will focus on how AI can be used within the library, including: running an AI programming class, using AI to answer simple questions, and utilizing AI to create posts, tweets, photos, and even videos for our library. Leave this session with a variety of AI tools you can start using in your library!

AI for Your Library
AI can be used in a variety of different ways. During this session, we
will focus on how AI can be used within the library, including: running
an AI programming class, using AI to answer simple questions, and
utilizing AI to create posts, tweets, photos, and even videos for our
library. Leave this session with a variety of AI tools you can start
using in your library!
Today we are exploring…

Skills For Learning
Understanding data and how to
read data sets is valuable

learning-algorithms-you-should-know-to
Math and Algorithms
Statistics
Learning how inputs of code
can interact physical parts
Hardware + Software
Robotics
Learning to code at a basic
level with syntax and flow; then
move to Python (most common)

Learning this is a huge skill to
master, along with object

Automations and Community
Receptionist
Allow for an interaction that’s
quick and frees up time for staff
for more complex and human
needed interactions
“Where’s The Bathroom”
Industry Risks
If car automation takes hold,
what does that do to the
shipping and delivery industry?
Preparing The Future
People sometimes need help
finding information on your
website. A Chat bot that notices
a user on a page for a long time
can make recommendations or
hand off to staff

“The Agenda”
Bringing It All Together
Impact On Staff
At some point, AI can very
well replace some functions
and roles of what we do. IE:
Receptionist/Simple Q & A
Improving AI
If building an AI solution, you
will want to be accurate with
the data you provide

Making Your Job Better
Shift of Focus
AI can replace many of our tasks that we do to make
them:
* More Efficient =
* More Accurate = As long as the data provided to the
AI is “good”, then the function will be more accurate.
*Tedious Work may be “outsourced” to the AI
Making The Work Day More Meaningful

AI Struggles
Shift of Focus
AI may not have emotional intelligence or show
empathy…(yet).
AI makes a decision based on facts and may
not account for emotional variables.
To assume AI can’t replace a job role because
it doesn’t have emotional intelligence would be
a failure point to any organization.
Empathy / Emotional Intelligence
