Registration is open for the CARLI Professional Development Alliance webinar “AI Harms, AI Use, and the Library as Intermediary in the Adoption of New Tech Tools”. It will take place on Tuesday, February 3, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT.
As artificial intelligence tools become more embedded in everyday research, learning, and content creation, libraries are increasingly asked to help patrons navigate both their potential uses and their risks. This webinar explores common AI use cases in library settings alongside documented and emerging harms – such as bias, privacy concerns, misinformation, and unequal access. Participants will examine how libraries can act as intermediaries in the adoption of new technologies by providing context, instruction, and ethical guidance, while supporting informed and responsible use among patrons and staff.
The presenter is Rachel Kubie, a public reference librarian at Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
