Theme

The potentially transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and generative AI on the evolution of bibliographic control, metadata practices, library collections, and legal aspects associated with them, is the central theme of this 1.5-day satellite meeting. The satellite meeting aims to investigate and analyze these critical issues, exploring the multifaceted impact of AI, both in its current applications and in the emerging paradigm of generative AI, on the core missions of libraries and information institutions, including national bibliographic agencies, and on metadata, library collections, copyright and legal deposit, in an AI-increasingly driven information landscape.
