How Academic Libraries and HSS Can Shape AI Policy
Description
In the final episode of our four-part series with Springer Nature’s VP of Humanities, Social Sciences Books & Focus Projects Anil Chandy, we zoom out for a big-picture look at the intersection of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), libraries, and AI. First, Anil shares how AI tools have created opportunities to “stress test” the scholarly communication lifecycle, revealing pain points and opportunities for transformation. Next, Anil connects ethical AI use with academic libraries’ mission of equitable information access. As libraries themselves begin to incorporate AI tools into collection development strategies and information services, they can lead universities in responsible AI academic practices. Finally, Anil reflects on how HSS disciplines like political science, international relations, and law can interweave and forecast long-term AI regulation policies and solutions.
