Abstract

The ultimate goal of “Artificial Intelligence” in libraries is to create computer systems. That is capable of deduction, acting, and even outwitting human intelligence. This has significant consequences for the profession of librarianship. In recent years, library technology has seen an explosion in the use of artificial intelligence. Virtual Reality for immersive learning, book reading and shelf-reading machines, and expert systems for reference services are a few examples. While the integration of artificial intelligence may appear to estrange librarians from their users, it is more likely to enable libraries to accomplish more rather than supplant librarians. The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened up new opportunities for advancing research across all fields. The future looks bright because artificial intelligence technologies are present in every aspect of business. The usage of AI has greatly aided in the provision and utilization of library information resources as well as in achieving the aims and objectives of the library. AI has many uses in libraries, from book publishing to book distribution, therefore librarians must think creatively to remain relevant in their roles. Its use opened up a number of new options for the library, including the ability to link electronic and physical resources and to link tangible items and artifacts with video assistance. The article explored a number of artificial intelligence (AI) components, and the services that libraries can use it for their operational and services.
