Abstract:

Wu Jianzhong emphasizes that leveraging artificial intelligence AI to support thetransformation and high-quality development of libraries is a new and pressing issue. He advocates forlibraries to embrace AI as a powerful tool while recognizing it as a means not an end. The goal ofdeveloping AI is not to replace librarians and its application must not deviate from the library􀆳s corevalues. The development of AI in libraries is neither a short-term need nor a quick fix. Cheng Huanwenargues that in the AI era as libraries undergo rapid iterations in spatial form information technology andknowledge carrier they must uphold three irreplaceable functions the social value ensuring equal accessto knowledge for all the irreplaceable role of professional librarians in public service and innovation andlibraries􀆳 vital function in supporting lifelong learning and nationwide reading. Zhou Deming observesthat AI is reshaping libraries in an unprecedented depth and breadth bringing both challenges andopportunities. Librarians should proactively learn about AI improve service efficiency phase outoutdated practices and explore new applications. They should integrate AI with collections and serviceswhile managing the risks of AI hallucinations and advancing intelligent development with patience. AIwill change how people access information and can also enhance acquisitions indexing rare bookdigitization and reference services ultimately making libraries stronger through transformation. Ke Pingpoints out that reference services which have evolved over 140 years from traditional to digital formatshave entered a second major upgrade driven by large language models like ChatGPT. This new paradigmis characterized by deep interaction ubiquitous personalization and comprehensive effectiveness. AIgeneratedcontent AIGC enhances human-computer interaction supports personalized service acrossdiverse scenarios and enables functions like intelligent recommendations and knowledge generation. Itgoes beyond efficiency to deliver direct social and economic benefits. Ye Ying contends that generativeAI is propelling libraries from 􀆵 digitization to 􀆵 intelligent digitization. Conceptually resourcedevelopment is shifting from experience-based to AI-driven prediction knowledge organization isbecoming dynamically associated through semantic networks and reference services are evolving intoreal-time Agent Service. Technologically AI combined with XR extended reality is creatingimmersive metaverse libraries that function not only as resource repositories but also as knowledgeassistants and innovation incubators. In addressing ethical and hallucination risks libraries must remainopen yet cautious while librarians should transform into 􀆵intelligent designers with both technologicaland humanistic literacy. Zhang Jiuzhen emphasizes that in the era of generative AI libraries shouldovercome technological anxiety and rationally assess AI􀆳s role as an aid not a replacement. The focusshould be on AI􀆳s strategic value in revitalizing collections and optimizing acquisitions and catalogingpromoting a shift from preservation to application. Libraries must be mission-driven in their technologychoices avoid blind adoption and resource misallocation reinforce critical thinking and AI literacyeducation solidify their role as knowledge hubs and expand inclusive and in-depth services. Zhao Xingreviews libraries􀆳 leading efforts in automation and digitization since the mid-20th century. He notes thatdespite AI􀆳s challenges namely knowledge fragmentation hallucinations and lack of value-drivenscenarios libraries possess the foundation to evolve from being 􀆵 empowered to serving as􀆵demonstrators . With their structured knowledge governance credible authority and comprehensiveuser cognition workflows libraries can validate key AI application scenarios achieving mutualempowerment and symbiotic development. Fu Ping studies Penrose Library at Whitman College as anexample to explore three AI research assistants widely adopted in American academic libraries PrimoResearch Assistant JSTOR AI Research Assistant and ProQuest Research Assistant. He examines howthese tools are embedded into library services and evaluates them from the perspectives of educationalvalue technical capability and ethical risk. It is emphasized that libraries should neither blindly followAI trends nor hastily shut down emerging functions instead they should actively engage in shaping andguiding the use of generative AI becoming stewards of knowledge and values in the intelligent age.
