Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the way information is created, shared, and consumed. What does this mean for libraries, librarians, and their essential role in promoting information literacy? In the latest recorded webinar on the LibraryLinkNJ LearningSpace, Jim Craner of The Galecia Group explores these pressing questions in Libraries and Information Literacy in the AI Age.
In this insightful session, Craner delves into the critical role of libraries in combating misinformation, algorithmic bias, and AI-generated disinformation. He highlights the challenges posed by AI "hallucinations"—where AI confidently presents false information as fact—and discusses how filter bubbles and epistemic bubbles shape the way people engage with information.
Whether you're interested in AI's impact on libraries or searching for tools to enhance information literacy skills, this webinar highlights the importance of information literacy as both a fundamental skill and a basic human right. Librarians are essential in championing this cause, guiding communities through the shifting landscape of the AI era.
