Artificial intelligence has long been the plot of science fiction novels and horror movies, but today, it is also becoming a common topic in the workplace. As companies grapple with using AI to improve their efficiency and ease their workload, they must also set standards and guidelines for its ethical use. The East Baton Rouge Parish Library has a multitude of resources in the Digital Library, as well as an upcoming speaker this month, to help you better understand and use this emerging technology.
