Current Developments in Artificial Intelligence Regulation: European Union, Canada, and the United States
Noel Corriveau, Connor Dunlop, Alan Mislove
At our recent spring meeting, the Brookings Institute's Darrel West spoke about the risks and potential of artificial intelligence applications and posited that well-crafted legislative regulation will be a key factor in determining whether its evolution helps or harms. At this meeting, learn more from legislative and policy experts across the EU, Canada, and the United States, who will share insights into the development of national/regional regulation of artificial intelligence applications. Connor Dunlop, European Public Policy Lead at the Ada Lovelace Institute in Brussels, will share insights into the development of the EU AI Act and its future implications. Senior lawyer and artificial intelligence policy expert Noel Corriveau will then discuss Canadian legislative policy work and likely impacts.

ETHICS & PRIVACY SESSION
9:10 a.m. – 9:40 a.m.
The Secret History of the Right to Privacy | Amy Gajda
There is a tension that has always existed between freedom of information and interests in privacy. While most people value truth, they also understand that too much truth can be humiliating or economically debilitating. This talk explores the history of that tension and suggests that today, in a world where many can publish with a click and when data on most individuals is open for the scraping, privacy interests are stronger than they’ve ever been—and the law is responding.

9:40 a.m. – 10:10 a.m.
From Theory to Practice: How to Embed Privacy into Library Organizations | Bonnie Tijerina
Upholding the right to privacy has long been a core value of librarianship. This talk will examine how emerging privacy considerations in research, learning, and community life can lead to renewed and broadened implications for privacy in information work.

ORGANIZATIONAL & PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY ISSUES SESSION
11:05 a.m. – 11:50 a.m.
Shaping Library Culture in the Shadows: Morale, Leadership, and Identity | Kaetrena Davis Kendrick
Traditional understandings of organizational culture and morale center the idea that leaders both shape culture and are the primary cause of workplace dysfunction and reduced morale. However, contemporary research on library workplaces reveals nuance—and surfaces the need for a holistic view of the realities of leading modern libraries and considering who should be responsible for healthy workplace culture and employee well-being.

Kaetrena Davis Kendrick will share selected findings from her ongoing work on library workplace morale, as well as her recent study focusing on formal library leaders. Her presentation will be followed by a moderated conversation with Lisa Carter and the audience about the implications of the study, as well as emerging countermeasures for leaders who face low morale in their libraries or broader academic institutions.

11:50 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
NETWORKING LUNCH

1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
Aligning Values with Investment | Kaitlin Thaney & John Wilkin
In recent years, we’ve seen a shift in libraries towards a focus on more open, equitable systems coupled with a conscious choice to align our organizations and our financial decisions with our stated values. This shift has caused a closer examination of how we approach building technology, providing services, running coalitions, and where we invest our innovation dollars. This panel will delve into real-world examples that show ways to more critically assess one’s own commitment to the values we espouse in advancing shared aims of openness, community, and equity and incorporate into the fabric of how they serve library leaders, administrators, and the research community.

1:45 p.m. – 2:20 p.m.
Leveraging Program Insights for Leadership—Reflections Session with ARL Intensive Learning Program (ILP) Fellows | Neelam Bharti, Melanie Hawks, Casey Hoeve, Kathryn Webb
