Shreekrushna V. Bhopalwad

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of library services, reshaping how information is accessed, managed, and delivered. This study explores the integration of AI technologies into modern library systems, focusing on their applications, benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations. Through a review of current literature and selected case studies, the paper examines how AI tools such as chatbots, machine learning algorithms, and automated metadata tagging are enhancing user experience, streamlining library operations, and supporting personalized information retrieval. The findings indicate that while AI has the potential to significantly improve service efficiency and user engagement, its adoption also raises concerns related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the evolving role of librarians. The study concludes by highlighting the need for strategic planning, staff training, and ethical frameworks to ensure responsible and inclusive implementation of AI in library environments.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Chatbots in Libraries, Metadata Tagging, Smart Libraries, Library Innovation
