Program Description
Event Details
Three-session Cohort | May 26, 28, & 29 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
This cohort equips staff to respond to the most common community concerns about AI: who benefits, who is harmed, and what libraries should do about it. We explore algorithmic bias through concrete examples, discuss access and cost barriers, and review environmental considerations at a high level.
Participants learn a usable equity framework for evaluating AI tools and services in a library context, including considerations of accessibility, language, disability, age, and socioeconomic factors.
