The chapter examines how artificial intelligence is changing the operations of Library and Information Centers, particularly the knowledge management, resource discovery, and interaction between the user and the system. It follows the development of libraries in terms of traditional cataloging and classification units to digitization and automated metadata generation as the basis of AI integration. The chapter discusses AI technologies including machine learning, natural language processing, recommendation systems and intelligent information retrieval, and it elaborates how their usage in libraries improves library operations and user personal experiences. It also mentions the use of AI to create knowledge management (such as automatic metadata generation, prediction of resources management, intelligent reference assistance) and covers the ethical, legal, and social concerns (data privacy, copyright, transparency, and equal access). Finally, the chapter offers the directions of the future, which consists of developing human-friendly, comprehensible AI systems to develop adaptive, efficient, and dynamic library ecosystems.
