Libraries operate in an environment that combines standardized processes with specialized services. While certain administrative and operational tasks can be automated, human expertise remains key in areas like patron services and specialized research assistance. The potential for AI integration is present, but the nuanced roles of library staff and regulatory considerations create a balanced view on AI displacement risk.
