Abstract:AI and librariestrends and projections Artificial intelligenceAIhas penetrated the world of librarians and researchers and can take on tasks such as answer directional or simple questionsalert when a new book is published and direct a customer to specific library resourcesThese tasks are performed using chatbotsthat isAI software that can simulate a conversationor a chatwith a user in natural language through messaging applicationswebsites and mobile apps or through the telephoneThe robot envisages what a human wants and guides them to their desired outcome with as little work for the end user as possibleAI is one of the most complex and impressive human inventions but the field remains mostly unexplored and with huge growth potentialAI is divided into three categoriesartificial narrow intelligenceANIartificial general intelligenceAGIand artificial superintelligenceASIANI is weak AI with a narrow range of abilitiesIt is the only type of AI we have available for now that is used mainly in facial recognitionspeech recognitionvoice assistants and in driving carsAGI on the other hand is strong AI with the ability to mimic human intelligence or behaviors to solve any problemResearchers are working on improving machinesability to seeunderstand and learn as humans doThe third typeASI isthe hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence and abilitiesIt is the intelligence that is the inspiration for science fiction in which robots take over the worldAccording to Daniel in a blog of January 112021the impact of super-intelligent machines may be an exciting ideabut their impact on humanity remains uncertainand there are still many years before ASI will be achievableIndeedAI has induced intuitive power into machines that have led to the performance of human-like actions by computers and robots Consulting ServiceAI can answer the directional or simple questionsLibrary AutomationWhen the new book is publishedAI can make remindersRetrieval and IndexingAI guides customers to use specific library resourcesThis article mainly describes how AI penetrates into the world of libraries and researchersThis is mainly through the Chatbotswhich can simulate AI software that can simulate dialogue with users in natural languageIn additionthe article also describes the three main types of AIANIAGIand ASIANI is mainly used for face recognitionvoice recognitionvoice assistant and driving cars
