Keynote Speaker R. David Lankes will present:

Artificial Intelligence: Dream | Dread | Deconstruct

AI is often presented a single thing, and that thing is like magic fairy dust. The medical field will be changed forever, just add some AI. Publishing as we know it will be forever changed…just sprinkle on some AI. In this talk AI will be better defined in a way to highlight the opportunities (dream), challenges (dread), and actual implementation (deconstruct) in libraries. The goal is to use AI strategically to better position libraries within their communities.

Other presenters will discuss the various aspects of AI and how we can move forward responsibly as this technology continues to evolve.
