location Frankfurt am Main

On 7 and 8 December 2023, the German National Library is organising the 2023 symposium "AI in Libraries: new pathways with large language models?" at its location in Frankfurt am Main.

The event will focus on the latest developments in the field of generative AI, large language models and their significance for libraries.

What can the latest technologies do, and what challenges, opportunities and risks do they entail (technical, legal and ethical)? Are the current language models suitable for library, science and research applications? And would it be expedient and legally possible for libraries with their extensive holdings to become involved in their further development? These are the questions that will be discussed.

The symposium is an event within the Network for machine-based cataloguing processes. This network brings together institutions involved in research, development and practical applications for the purpose of promoting the transfer of technology and knowledge. People who work in libraries, archives, universities, research institutes and companies and are interested in this topic are warmly invited to attend this event.
