Artificial Intelligence (AI)
systems with the ability to process data in a way
which resembles intelligent behaviour - UNESCO
a technology developed by humans that can
make decisions like humans and carry out tasks
that would usually require human intelligence,
e.g. chatbots, robots, self-driving cars, etc.
Prompting
"is how humans can talk to AIs. It is a way to tell
the AI what we want and how you want it,
usually done with words. For example, you
might want to generate an image but have
nothing to show it as an example. What would
you do?" - LOUIS BOUCHARD
Compete
striving to outperform others in an activity; and
may be characterized by subjective criticisms,
intimidation, resistance, fighting
Collaborate
striving to work jointly in togetherness to
accomplish a task; and may be characterized by
leveraging on opportunities, warm receptions,
appreciation, collective effort, objective criticism
Cruise
(In this context) continuation of activities with
no regard to developmental changes in the
environment; and may be characterized by/as
observers, passerby, gossips, freestyle, ignoring,
subjective criticisms, aloof

WTF about
ChatGPT What's Special?
https://chat.openai.com
ChatGPT is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and
provide a detailed response. "We’ve trained a model called
ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The
dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer
followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect
premises, and reject inappropriate requests. - OpenAI BLOG
Launched by OpenAI on 30th November, 2022
Over 150 million users as at May 2023
Over 2000 AI Tools launched since their launch

AI can be used to diagnose and
treat diseases. 'IBM Watson
Health' for example has a set of AI-
powered tools that healthcare
providers use to diagnose
diseases, develop treatment plans,
and monitor a patient's progress.

So, what's holding Librarians
back from leveraging tecnology?

has no sense of morality
can simulate and not feel Emotions
limited creativity
no free will, makes choice based on training
created by humans
knows the difference between good and evil
Humans have Emotions (love and hate)
unlimited creativity (bank of refreshing ideas)
have free will (can make our own choice)
created by God

The Creators
and
developers of
AI tools are
scared of the
ugly side of AI,
some of them
have lost
control over
AI.
Educationists
and students
may be affected
negatively
because AI can
sometimes
provide more
intelligent
answers than
what's on the
marking
scheme. It can
also provide
very misleading
responses.
Security.
Though
ChatGPT
claims to have
fixed breach
that caused
some users to
be able to see
other users
activities, AI
users must be
careful and
aware of
online privacy
tips
AI users may
be using it for
evil.
Suprisingly
only little
investments
are going into
regulation of
AI, compared

To Improve L.I.S Delivery
creative ways Librarians can use AI/ChatGPT
Use AI for copy cataloguing. ChatGPT
however may not be very effective for
this. If the book is available online, it can
get the bibliographic details for you.
INDEXING & ABSTRACTING
AI can help you summarize magazines,
newspapers and books, which can help to
make indexing and abstracting quicker and
foster consistency in delivering this service in
your library
ASK A LIBRARIAN
Integrate AI API into your webite
and offer real-time reference & FAQ
services to visitors and library users.
DATA ANALYSIS
Carry out Data Manipulation and
interpretation services for
users and clients
GET INSIGHTS
Use AI to learn about the Behaviour
and changing needs of your users,
and get relevant suggestions on
creative ways to meet those needs
REVIEW OF BOOKS,
ARTICLES AND WEBSITES
Provide SDI/CAS services with
summaries provided by AI.
USE ROBOTS
robots can assist with handling some
simple manual library tasks and
answering quick reference questions
EMBED IN LIBRARY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A Great LMS or Digital Library Software
should be able to recall users search
history and know their interest to be able
to suggest to the related materials, etc.
