Presenter: Nick Tanzi

We increasingly hear about artificial intelligence (AI), but what exactly is it? Even as AI continues to develop as a technology, its influence can already be felt in libraries. Our speaker will explore the many ways AI has begun to impact our organizations and our patrons before preparing attendees for what advancements lie ahead in the near future.
