| Horror Stories From the Book Drop |
|
by Steve Albrecht
|
| The shelves in your library or your oh-so-inviting book drop seem to draw things you wouldn't want to discuss at a party. Through my work at Library 2.0, I decided to do a survey of its 56,000 members. The survey question was simple; the answers that came in, not so much. |

| AI and the Environment: A Double-Edged Sword |
|
by Brandi Scardilli
|
| The use of AI in various professions could lead to job losses, but it could also lead to the creation of new roles that work alongside the technology. AI automates some tedious tasks so workers can be free to focus on other ones, but it's also only as effective as how it's been trained. So, you can't really claim AI as a societal good or evil yet—or maybe ever. This is especially true when it comes to AI's effects on the environment. So far, we're seeing lots of evidence that AI is both good and bad for the planet. |
