Artificial Intelligence Panel Discussion

Discussion:  Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into health science librarianship is a strategic endeavor that can enhance services, improve efficiency, and empower librarians to better support clinicians and researchers. AI is a tool to augment human capabilities, not replace them. By integrating AI thoughtfully, health science librarians can continue their vital role in advancing knowledge and improving patient care. (Generated by Microsoft Copilot)
