人工智慧於圖書館之應用、倡議與育成：歐美加圖書館個案發展芻議

The Application, Advocacy and Incubator of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Libraries: Examining AI Initiatives and Use Cases in Libraries in the US, Canada, and Europe

人工智慧相關應用已融入於現代生活中，圖書館館員亦應思考如何應用人工智慧來協助提升資訊資源組織整理效能與服務的質量，以機器協助將文字、影像、聲音等各式媒體自動分類，館員可多投注於有創意的活動以增進資訊之可用性並協助教學與研究。應用於圖書館的人工智慧，不是科技導向，而是目標導向，使我們可快速地找到解決問題的方案。本研究綜整美國、加拿大、芬蘭、挪威等國家，大學、學術與公共圖書館實際導入人工智慧概念或技術的個案，區分為應用、倡議與育成等三種類型，最後為圖書資訊學界與圖書館實務分別提出若干行動方案的建議。

Artificial intelligent (AI) is ubiquitous in our modern life. Librarians should think that how to apply artificial intelligent into libraries to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of information organization and the quantity and quality of information services. Machines can discover patterns and make classifications in images, text, and audio, much faster and more efficiently than humans. Therefore, librarians can attend to the creative and intellectually engaging work of making information useful for research and teaching. The library's AI program must be purpose-driven rather than technology-driven project for the problem solving. The use cases of applying concept or techniques of AI in universities, academic and public libraries from the U.S., Canada, Finland, and Norway were reviewed in this study. Application, advocacy and incubator of AI in libraries were classified as three kinds of approaches in this study. Several action plans were suggested from both the perspectives of library & information science field and library practice in this study.
