Abstract

The paper provides an overview of AI leadership and then narrows its focus to specific applications within library contexts. Key AI leadership tools are discussed, including AI for decision-making to optimize resource allocation and staffing, AI for fostering innovation and collaboration among staff, and AI for continuous improvement based on user feedback. The study also addresses significant ethical and privacy concerns associated with AI implementation in libraries. It emphasizes the necessity for library managers to ensure transparency in data collection practices while respecting user confidentiality. Additionally, the potential for algorithmic bias is examined, highlighting the importance of fairness and inclusivity in AI-driven decision-making processes. By proposing a comprehensive framework for AI leadership in libraries, this research aims to guide library managers in fostering an environment that prioritizes ethical considerations and user-centric service delivery. Moreover, this paper contributes to the understanding of how AI leadership can reshape library management practices while addressing the ethical implications inherent in these developments, positioning libraries as responsible stewards of technology in an increasingly digital landscape.
