Impact of artificial intelligence text generators (AITGs) on libraries

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of studying the impact of artificial intelligence text generators (AITGs) on libraries is to examine the effect of AITGs on the library landscape, including the services offered, the resources provided and the roles of library staff.Design/methodology/approachThe current study examined how AITGs impact libraries. The researcher was able to comprehend the problem by critically analyzing and reviewing the pertinent published works, such as books, journals and articles.FindingsThis study concludes AITGs can assist libraries in streamlining operations, enhancing services and making collections more accessible. It is vital to highlight that AITGs are not intended to dissuade its users from visiting physical libraries or to replace them with virtual ones. Instead, they are a tool that can improve and supplement the services and resources provided by virtual libraries.Originality/valueThe study’s observations add to the corpus of information on AITGs in libraries and help users comprehend their technological foundations. Further empirical research is recommended on the effects of AITGs and their impact on libraries.
