Hope in the Library: How Libraries Can Help Shape Our Future with Artificial Intelligence (ASERL) Online

In an era where our information environments are increasingly redesigned for artificial intelligence, Hope in the Library (published Feb 2026) poses a vital question: What is the role of the library in an age of automated systems? Dr. Michael J. Paulus, Jr. argues that far from being obsolete, libraries are the essential counterbalance we need—serving as human-scaled sanctuaries for reflection, imagination, and agency. By reframing the library as a site of “hope,” this talk will explore how these institutions function as archives of the past and catalysts for a better future, ensuring that we do not just survive the rise of AI, but thrive alongside it.
