Hi, all,
This (free) webinar may be on interest, even though it is not specifically about ebook access:
Ethical AI in Libraries: A Critical Look at the Promise and Potential
We are at a critical juncture where generative artificial intelligence presents both immense promise and complex ethical challenges for libraries. While AI is touted as a technological revolution, its significant harms-including environmental costs, bias, plagiarism, and economic instability-cannot be ignored. This panel will convene library technology experts and industry leaders to take a critical look at the "potential" of AI and assess what it truly means for our profession. We'll discuss the many ethical issues, share practical strategies for library workers who question its use, and offer resources to ensure libraries continue to prioritize human knowledge, inquiry, and ethical considerations.
It's on January 27th, 1 – 2 pm (Eastern)
