"Public Library AI: Demonstrations, Discoveries, Discussions" (PLAID3) is an AI literacy and fluency program for public library managers and workers. This site includes our freely available resources: videos, how-to articles, demonstration chatbots, and more! PLAID3 is provided by the library technology consultants of The Galecia Group.

AI in the Library: Promise and Problems

AI can be a contentious topic but it's here to stay. We try to avoid both "AI hype" and "AI doom and gloom" whenever possible. We have special curated coverage of the environmental, intellectual property, and information literacy aspects of modern AI, and we welcome submissions from the public library community!
