Reimagining Library Services through AI-Driven Strategies for Sustainable Academic Libraries

Abstract: Academic libraries are changing a lot because of Artificial Intelligence (AI), thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and they are becoming more flexible, efficient, efficient and welcoming places for learning. Inclusive learning environments. This paper talks about discusses how AI artificial intelligence is being used in academic libraries to make them better in terms of the improve their environment, their money, and their society. From smart clever ways of organizing organising books to user-adapted experiences tailored to users and predicting anticipating what people might may need, AI artificial intelligence is making library services more effective. Efficient. It also helps with contributes to the United Nations UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in general. The study looks at examples from around all over the world and finds out the main problems, like identifies key challenges such as ethical issues, unfairness in AI decisions, decision-making and lack of digital skills. Skills shortages. The paper document also gives sets out a plan roadmap for using AI in the fair and inclusive way. use of artificial intelligence. The findings show that when AI is used that, if applied in a fair and open way, it manner, artificial intelligence can really change how the way academic libraries are seen perceived and work operated in the 21st century.
