Embedding an Equity Lens to Generative AI's Impact on Libraries

Abstract

Description

Webinar presentation hosted by ViMLoC (Visible Minority Librarians of Canada) on February 3, 2026. Description: Generative AI (GenAI) is fundamentally reshaping how information is created, organized, and accessed. As this technology evolves, how can libraries ensure their services and resources remain equitable, inclusive, and ethical? This session will explore the challenges and opportunities GenAI presents for librarians serving diverse communities and will focus on the following key areas: a) Mechanics of Bias: Understanding how GenAI works and how to use it effectively, b) Ethical Implementation: Ensuring GenAI adoption does not widen existing digital and information equity gaps, c) Strategic Advocacy: Positioning librarians (and libraries?) as leading institutional voices for AI literacy initiatives.
