Abstract
Libraries have evolved from traditional repositories of knowledge to dynamic hubs of digital
information, embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance user experiences. This review
explores the multifaceted role of AI in libraries, focusing on key areas such as information
discovery, transparency, accountability, privacy, data protection, intellectual freedom, human
AI collaboration, inclusivity, and accessibility.
AI algorithms enable personalized recommendations, leveraging users' preferences and reading
histories to suggest relevant resources and foster exploration. However, ensuring algorithmic
transparency and accountability is crucial to maintaining user trust. Libraries must educate
users about AI workings and mitigate biases in recommendations, promoting fairness and
inclusivity across diverse user groups.
Privacy and data protection are paramount, requiring robust security measures and
compliance with regulations to safeguard user data. Libraries must balance AI-driven
recommendations with intellectual freedom, avoiding censorship and promoting diverse
viewpoints. Human-in-the-loop models empower librarians to refine AI recommendations, ensuring alignment with library values and user needs.
Inclusivity and accessibility are core principles, with AI bridging gaps to provide equitable
access to resources for all users. By navigating ethical considerations and prioritizing user
centric AI systems, libraries can harness AI's potential to create inclusive, informed, and
empowered communities.
