Event Description
What artificial intelligence (AI) can your patrons use safely? You can say nothing, but you'd be wrong. We teach patrons how to use text-to-speech or other accessibility features that are, in fact, AI. Rather than start with the negative, let's tell patrons what they can use and work towards the list that is not safe.
Learning Objectives:
Dr. Robbie Barber is an electrical engineer from Georgia Tech who wandered into a school library. As a teacher-librarian, she works with high school students and teachers to find the best resources, use technology, and locate the perfect book.

- An understanding of ALA's working papers on guidance for libraries on AI
