Artificial intelligence is igniting a literacy revolution, uncovering new possibilities for all learners. In this session, I’ll address concepts related to chapter 3 (Never-ending Ai Explosions) in my upcoming book, LITERACY REBORN: HOW Ai IS TRANSFORMING THE WAY WE READ, WRITE, AND LEARN. I’ll highlight a few recent mind-boggling advancements that are influencing literacy and learning, and discuss the #1, most-important strategy that will help every librarian.
I gave a more in-depth version of this presentation last month at the 2024 national ALA conference. Over 500 librarians overcrowded the room, many of whom sat on the floor in front of me, stood along the walls, and completely overcrowded both entrances to the room. See this link for the session description.
