Abstract
This issue of Research Library Issues (RLI) opens up a conversation about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of knowledge production, dissemination, and preservation. AI is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. With so much underway in the field of AI, there is a need for research libraries to act, starting with clarifying AI ethics policies, principles, and practices.
Association of Research Libraries (ARL) asked three individuals to share their expertise and recommendations in this issue of RLI. In the first article, focuses on the role of ethics in innovation. AI, like other influential technologies, can be a force for innovation, and is known to have harmful as well as helpful implications.In the second article, defines XAI, and situates it in the context of privacy, opacity, and trust. The final article focuses on the role of the research library in formulating and implementing institutional policy based on the needs of the users, and in the context of public policy.
