At this year’s CoLIS 2025: 12th International Conference on Conceptions of Library and Information Science, Idunn Bøyum and Mahmood Khosrowjerdi presented a paper titled “‘It’s such a blackbox function’: Norwegian academic librarians’ ambivalent perceptions towards AI use in academic libraries and academia”.

The presentation was based on research conducted within the NIAGARA project. According to the abstract: “The study reveals academic librarians’ perceptions of AI as a double-edged sword, offering benefits but also presenting challenges, particularly related to ethical issues. Frustration was expressed over the lack of unified AI implementation guidelines, causing uncertainty among librarians and students. These underscore the need for clear AI guidelines and enhancement of librarians’ AI competence.”
