📌 URGENT‼️
AI is here, and AfLIA is developing two foundational frameworks: one to guide how AI is integrated into library services, and another to ensure it’s adopted in an ethical and responsible way across Africa. We believe these blueprints should be built by the community, for the community. Whether you’re a librarian, educator, researcher, or policymaker, your voice is the vital ingredient.
