Summary This resource is a guideline developed by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) that outlines seven key principles for the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies within research libraries and across the research environment. These principles serve as a framework for the ethical and transparent use of AI and reflect the core values upheld by ARL. The guidelines emphasize promoting AI literacy for all, addressing bias in AI systems, ensuring openness and transparency in algorithms, maintaining human oversight in decision-making processes, advocating for privacy protections in the use of AI tools, and upholding copyright and fair use rights in the research and educational context.
