Like the field of information science, there are many different definitions of AI Simple definition from Lexico: "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages" (Lexico, 2019) Defined in regards to it's goals: (Bringsjord, Selmer, Govindarajulu, Sundar, 2019) Relation to libraries Information retrieval Effects both librarians and patrons Catherine Coleman the Digital Research Architect at Stanford University Libraries states "Considering the profound change AI can bring as power tools for scholarship, making our vast library collections discoverable, searchable, and analyzable in new ways. How best do we bring the skills and knowledge of library staff, scholars, and students together to design an intelligent information system that respects the sources, engages critical inquiry, fosters imagination, and supports human learning and knowledge creation" (Coleman, 2017) (Pixabay, 2018) What has been done?
