Abstract
The process of gathering and organising information and its dissemination has changed nowadays due to the technological shift and introduction of the new technologies such as artificial intelligence. The present study is trying to see the abilities of Artificial Intelligence and its subfields, like Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and Large Language Models (LLMs), to reshape the main library operations like cataloguing, reference services, research support, and digital preservation. The main argument of the article is regarding the ethical, inclusive, and policy-compliant use of AI technology within libraries. The article also acknowledges the increasing role of librarians as curators of AI tools and highlights the need for a plan of action framework. There is a need for a plan of action framework that aligns the deployment of AI with national educational and digital objectives. In the future, with the help of AI, librarians will be positioned to develop intelligent knowledge systems, thereby promising access and sustainable learning opportunities in the digital age.
