SUMMARY:ByWater Presents:  AI in Libraries: Your Policy Life Jacket for Safe and Effective Use
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is already showing up in library work—whether through staff experimentation\, vendor tools\, or patron use. After exploring what AI can do\, the next step is ensuring your library is prepared to use it responsibly.This session introduces a practical\, policy-first approach to managing AI in libraries. Using the concept of a “policy life jacket\,” participants will learn how clear\, flexible policies can help staff navigate AI tools safely while protecting patron privacy\, maintaining accuracy\, and reinforcing professional judgment. \nDrawing on real-world library examples and policy frameworks\, this webinar will cover: \n– Why AI use without policy creates institutional risk– What an effective AI policy does (and doesn’t do)– Key components of a library AI policy\, including privacy\, transparency\, and staff guidance– The Human–AI–Human workflow as a foundation for responsible use– How to create a policy that supports innovation without losing controlParticipants will leave with a clear understanding of how to move from informal AI use to intentional\, well-governed practice—and with practical ideas they can adapt for their own libraries. \nRobin HastingsRobin Hastings is the Library Services Consultant for the Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS).
