SUMMARY:Librarians in Action: What’s the Big AI-dea? 
DESCRIPTION:Join Robin Hastings and Dan Alexander for a chat about Artificial Intelligence (AI). Robin and Dan have been early adopters and frequent presenters on AI\, as it constantly evolves! \n\n\n\nNo need to to register in advance just use the link below—this session will be recorded. \n\n\n\nArtificial Intelligence is everywhere—from your phone’s autocomplete to the headlines about chatbots writing novels (and occasionally fibbing about their sources). But what does it really do\, and what does it mean for libraries? \n\n\n\nJoin us for an engaging\, plain-English introduction to Generative AI (GenAI) designed especially for librarians and library board members. We’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nHow AI works: Pull back the curtain on how large language models like ChatGPT actually “think” (spoiler: they don’t\, but they’re very good at patterns).\n\n\n\nWhat AI can do for you: Discover practical ways to use AI in daily library life—drafting policies\, summarizing reports\, creating programs\, and saving time without sacrificing your professional judgment.\n\n\n\nTools that make life easier: A guided tour of librarian-approved AI helpers that organize\, write\, design\, and even translate library magic into plain language.\n\n\n\nWhy AI might not be the best solution for that problem: A candid look at bias\, privacy\, data ownership\, and the moments when human expertise beats the algorithm every time.\n\n\n\n\nExpect plenty of time for questions and to get your burning curiosity about AI satisfied!  \n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom: https://kslib.zoom.us/j/85100657886
