Abstract

LIS and the information professions offer unique potential and insight to contribute to the ethical development of automation and socio-technical systems, including artificial intelligence (AI). Professional practice, e.g., librarianship, information management, is now positioned between people, information, and technology. AI and automation will greatly impact the flow, access, and use of information. For example, AI has been suggested as an effective method to address mis-/disinformation (Rubin, 2022). Technical design, however, requires ethical design (e.g., Mökander et al, 2021) to avoid human harm and perpetuating and amplifying biases (Obermeyer et al, 2019).
