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:
  • An understanding of AI and privacy policies.
  • An understanding of ALA's working papers on guidance for libraries on AI
  • An editable chart of an AI Policy for your organization to create
Presenter:

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. Dr. Barber teaches classes on using research databases and how to better search the internet. She researches the latest technology, plays with AI, and creates professional presentations on recognizing fake news and other tech-infused ideas in the classroom and the library.
