In this chapter different aspects of AI technologies like chatbots, predictive analytics, recommendations and generative AI tools. These technologies increase the personalized learning, support research and aid data driven decision-making. Libraries plays a critical role as the partners by stimulating the smart resource management and the customized information dissemination to the users.
