Abstract

Libraries have a history dating back centuries, serving as guardians of knowledge and fostering intellectual growth. Libraries have long been a cornerstone of human civilization, serving as repositories of knowledge, cultural hubs, and learning centers. However, in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), some have questioned the relevance of libraries. This article explores the timeless relevance of libraries in an era marked by rapid technological advancements. The article uses a qualitative method and draws on a review of academic articles, studies, and case studies about libraries, artificial intelligence (AI), and digitalization. The analysis focuses on the historical importance of libraries, the challenges they confront in the age of AI, and prospective approaches to incorporating AI into library services. Libraries play a vital role in fostering these skills, offering a range of resources and educational programs to help individuals navigate the digital landscape effectively. Librarians, with their expertise, guide users in assessing the credibility of online sources, understanding data privacy, and developing information literacy skills. By promoting digital literacy, libraries empower individuals to make informed decisions in the age of AI, mitigating the risks associated with misinformation and algorithmic biases. Libraries remain relevant and essential in our society. Beyond their role as knowledge repositories, libraries promote critical thinking, digital literacy, community engagement, and equitable access to information. As we navigate the complexities of the digital age, libraries continue to serve as intellectual and social sanctuaries, fostering human connections and preserving the values that make us uniquely human.
