Developing a library strategic response to Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

AI is ‘the defining technology of our generation’ according to a recent joint statement by the UK and US governments.

The article poses nine key questions for consideration, and reflects on some answers that might support a more strategic library approach to AI.
