Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in libraries as a means of enhancing services and improving performance. The implementation of AI aims to create computer systems and machines that can think and act like humans, thus presenting both challenges and opportunities for libraries. AI is already being utilized in various ways within libraries, such as expert systems for reference services, robots for book shelving, and virtual reality for immersive learning experiences. Despite concerns that AI may replace librarians, it is actually facilitating libraries to become more efficient and provide better services. As technology rapidly advances in today's digital age, AI is expected to play a significant role in transforming libraries and adapting to the changing needs of society. The role of libraries is evolving, and they are embracing AI to enhance their performance and services.
