#AIinLibraries William Jensen Mangerøy, the way forward:

Further education - practical information on how to use AI safely and ethically in everyday work

With more knowledge of AI and automation, try simple experimentation. Encourage colleagues to stay curious, think creatively. 'You don't need to be an AI expert to have opinions about AI, we need everyone's opinions to find the way forward'

Collaboration - visiting other libraries, everyone faces the same challenges, has the same needs

Experience and domain knowledge still matters... fascinating study comparing 'a human librarian, ChatGPT-4 and ChatGPT-4 Turbo' for systematic searching; suggests integrating ChatGPT tools with librarians' expertise in conducting systematic reviews journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11 #AI #AI4LAM #AIinLibraries

At Code4Lib 2024, Zoe Tucker and Kristian Allen from UCLA Library did a presentation on their #OpenSource #metadata extraction pipeline for automated indexing of digital materials with complex layouts.

In their second iteration they chose the following components in order to improve the results: PaddleOCR (instead of #Tesseract) for #OCR, Amazon Science ReFinED (instead of #spaCy) for #NER, and Ollama (instead of #ChatGPT and #Gemini) for metadata extraction in Dublin Core or MODS.
Their experimental toolkit is available on GitHub as docker container running a JupyterLab environment and was implemented in Python.
