Summary This article defines AI in the library setting, analyzes relevant technologies, examining use cases of AI in five areas of library operation, and reflect on ethical implications of applying AI in libraries. The five types of use cases cover AI applications in 1) library back-end processes, 2) library services to users, 3) creating communities of data scientists, 4) data and AI literacy, and 5) user management. The ethical implications were discussed in various use cases, including the ethics of consent and representation of users, ensuring unbiased response to all users, and the ethical use of data from library collections.
