Description :
Artificial Intelligence is a broad, complex area of study, which can be difficult for non specialists to understand. Yet, its
ultimate promise is to create computer systems that rival human intelligence, and this clearly has major implications
for librarianship. If we are make progress in the area of intelligent systems, we must have an well-developed
understanding of AI technologies, a historical perspective on accomplishments to date, and a realistic perspective of AI
as a tool with appropriate and inappropriate uses in light of current constraints. Many authors have previously
provided in-depth overviews of AI technologies. The interested reader should consult either a basic or a more
challenging introductory work for a detailed treatment of AI. There have also been several good reviews of research and
development efforts relevant to librarianship.
