Generative AI continues to integrate into our daily lives, and public libraries can play an important role in helping their communities understand these technologies.

Through their daily interactions with the public, librarians see how using these powerful tools can produce intentional and unintentional harm. This session will give an overview of how to work, live, and thrive in a world with GenAI.
