Half your job was never your job Why AI taking your tasks might be the best thing that happens to you

This is a thought provoking read to start the new year.

It has prompted me to consider what AI has and will mean for library and information professionals and what I need to DROP, DEFEND, ELEVATE and REINVENT, particularly in the academic libraries space.

It has now been about a year since, because of my impending (and now here!) twins, the #AIinLibraries community, which critically examined all issues regarding AI and libraries, died down and meetings stopped. Would there be any interest in these talks? #skybrarians #librarians #alattthinktank

'You don't need to be an AI expert to have opinions about AI, we need everyone's opinions to find the way forward'

Collaboration - visiting other libraries, everyone faces the same challenges, has the same needs

#AIinLibraries

#AIinLibraries William Jensen Mangerøy, the way forward:

Further education - practical information on how to use AI safely and ethically in everyday work

With more knowledge of AI and automation, try simple experimentation. Encourage colleagues to stay curious, think creatively.

Let’s reimagine the possibilities! How can AI breathe new life into proven educational models? Share your thoughts! 🌟
