Description: 

AI hype is everywhere! Libraries and archives want to use AI to improve our resources and services, while protecting our communities from harm. We developed the Viewfinder toolkit to help practitioners implement AI in alignment with professional values. This hands-on session introduces the toolkit and guides participants through its use.

Learning Outcomes: 

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Recognize the landscape of AI implementation in libraries and archives
  • Examine and reflect upon the values and stakeholders at play in AI implementations. 
  • Evaluate actions to guide responsible AI implementation.

Who Should Attend: Any librarian or archivist
