Optimizing the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Library Services in the 21st Century

Abstract

Artificial intelligence already touches many of our daily computing activities, most of the computer systems and mobile phones being developed today have artificial intelligence features and we have probably used them not knowing that they are intelligent machines. Examples of Artificial intelligence in computers are speech recognition, natural language processing, self-driving or autonomous cars, machine learning, deep leaning and robotics. Artificial intelligence works based on perceptual recognition unlike human beings that operate on deep cognition.The power and advantage of Artificial intelligence lies in the fact that computers can recognize patterns efficiently at a scale and speed that human beings cannot. The development of societies in recent times have been facilitated by the growing demand of access to information, and libraries are the prime source in providing this access.
