Building Public AI with Libraries
publicai.networkPublic libraries have long served as trusted centers for information, learning, and community. We believe they can also shine as trusted providers of public AI: community-based AI services and infrastructure.
The Library of Congress, Metagov, and Public Knowledge, in partnership with the Utah State Library and the New Jersey State Library, are launching a pilot program to bring community-based AI services to public libraries across the United States. This is your opportunity to join a national effort to make AI more accessible and useful for your community.
I certainly do not trust the current US government with anything Ai related at any level. I suspect that's their ultimate goal, but not limited to Ai.
