University of North Carolina Begins a Study on Communities and Generative AI

The University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill announced “a statewide two-year collaborative planning and pilot study aimed at understanding how North Carolina communities are encountering generative artificial intelligence and how local libraries can support AI literacy in meaningful, locally relevant and sustainable ways.”

The university shares, “The project, ‘Local Libraries and Generative AI,’ emphasizes listening, assessment and co-design as the foundation for equitable engagement with emerging technologies. … Researchers will work closely with participating libraries to better understand local needs, institutional capacity and community perspectives surrounding AI technologies. The project prioritizes collaboration with libraries to ensure future AI literacy efforts are grounded in the realities and strengths of local institutions.”
