| Summary | This article is written by Dr. Gary Marchionini, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Information and Library Science. Recognizing that Information and Library Science (ILS) professionals “have skills, perspectives, and practices that are essential to human interests in the AI-augmented world”, Dr. Marchionini defines and discusses six key responsibilities of ILS professionals in an AI-augmented world. The responsibilities are 1) Inputs: select and validate training data set, 2) Use: prompt engineering, 3) Outputs: documentation for transparency and workflow improvement, as well as the disclosure and citation regarding AI usage, 4) Evaluation: develop and evaluate generative AI systems, 5) Education: promote AI literacy, and 6) Reflect: support equitable access to AI tools. | |
