Series: AI Transformation in Libraries (Part 6 of 10)
Introduction
Generative AI (GenAI) —
represented by tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, LLaMA, and open-source
LLMs — is reshaping how information is discovered, created, and shared. Unlike
traditional AI that analyzes existing data, Generative AI creates new
content: text, summaries, translations, images, code, and more.
For libraries, GenAI represents
both a huge opportunity and a critical responsibility. Libraries
must leverage its benefits while ensuring ethical, transparent, and safe use.
