Abstract
ABSTRACT ChatGPT is a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that has been gathering significant attention since its release at the end of 2022. There are many reasons for the onslaught of discussion in the news media and academia, but principal among them is the fact that ChatGPT produces seemingly believable, coherent content with superhuman speed and efficiency, from creating computer code to penning a college-level essay. ChatGPT and similar technologies are improving by the day, and will only become more pervasive. Librarians and other information professionals need to understand this AI’s uses and limitations, and, when appropriate, must adjust their practices to reflect the reality of easy-to-use AI tools that are accessible to the masses. This breakthrough technology may require educational institutions to change the way they approach information literacy, adjust teaching practices and assignments, and update honor codes. Libraries may see impacts on reference practices, collection development, and metadata creation and transformation. Those who are able to embrace and innovate with the technology may bring efficiencies and value to their institutions.
