The aim of conducting a study on generative artificial Intelligence (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, was to identify international perceptions and use among library and information professionals from Italy, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, and Mexico. A questionnaire with 12 items was developed and distributed at conferences and by email at the convenience of researchers. The outcome was of 605 cases who responded to the instrument, whose results were analyzed with descriptive and some inferential statistics. The results showed that librarians and libraries, regardless of the socio-economic development of their countries, were slow in using AI. AI training and setting of AI library policies were also almost absent. Libraries and librarians can strengthen their social mission by urgently adopting AI technology.
L'obiettivo di condurre uno studio sull'intelligenza artificiale generativa (GenAI), come ChatGPT, è stato quello di identificare le percezioni e gli utilizzi a livello internazionale tra i professionisti delle biblioteche e dell'informazione provenienti da Italia, Bangladesh, Bulgaria e Messico. È stato sviluppato un questionario composto da 12 domande, distribuito durante conferenze e via email secondo le possibilità dei ricercatori. Il risultato ha prodotto 605 risposte, i cui dati sono stati analizzati utilizzando statistiche descrittive e alcune inferenziali. I risultati hanno evidenziato che bibliotecari e biblioteche, indipendentemente dal livello di sviluppo socio-economico dei loro paesi, si sono mostrati lenti nell'adozione dell'IA. Anche la formazione sull'IA e l'elaborazione di politiche per l'uso dell'IA nelle biblioteche risultano quasi del tutto assenti. Le biblioteche e i bibliotecari possono rafforzare la loro missione sociale adottando con urgenza la tecnologia dell'IA.

Abstract
The aim of conducting a study on generative artificial Intelligence (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, was to identify international perceptions and use among library and information professionals from Italy, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, and Mexico. A questionnaire with 12 items was developed and distributed at conferences and by email at the convenience of researchers. The outcome was of 605 cases who responded to the instrument, whose results were analyzed with descriptive and some inferential statistics. The results showed that librarians and libraries, regardless of the socio-economic development of their countries, were slow in using AI. AI training and setting of AI library policies were also almost absent. Libraries and librarians can strengthen their social mission by urgently adopting AI technology.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
