Summary This resource summarizes key points from small group discussions among librarians during a virtual event hosted by OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) and LIBER (the Association of European Research Libraries) on April 17, 2024. The event focused on AI and machine learning, capturing librarians' sentiments, concerns about the future of AI, AI use cases in libraries, and the need for responsible AI practices and AI literacy. The event was attended by representatives from 31 institutions across twelve countries in Europe and North America. It is part of the “Building for the Future” program, a collaboration between OCLC and LIBER running from October 2023 to June 2024. The program explores how libraries can provide state-of-the-art services. Additional AI-related resources can be found through this series.
