We invite you to listen to this new episode, part of the ‘Beyond the Shelves’ podcast series from the IATUL (International Association of University Libraries).

AI is everywhere around us these days, and it’s changing how we live, work and learn. But how do we make sure that everyone has the skills to keep up?

This episode features a discussion led by Dr. Vicky Grant, Head of Library Learning Services at the University of Sheffield, and Dr. Alana Ross, Associate University Librarian for Public Services at the University of Sharjah; where IFLA and The Tactical Technology Collective talk about the crucial role that libraries play in advancing AI literacy.

The discussion centers around the ‘Supercharged by AI’ exhibition and workshops that has taken place in over 50 libraries across Europe. While Tactical Tech shares insights into the motivations behind the initiative, IFLA highlights some of the project’s early findings and how libraries continue to contribute to global digital inclusion efforts by supporting communities worldwide in navigating the AI landscape.
