UNC Collaborates with Public Libraries for Statewide AI Literacy Initiative

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is partnering with public libraries across the state to enhance AI literacy through a new research initiative. The two-year project, titled Local Libraries and Generative AI, aims to study community responses to AI and develop tailored educational approaches. The initiative will involve university researchers and local librarians working together to assess technology infrastructure, staff capacity, and community attitudes toward AI. The project will be conducted in two phases, with lessons from the first cohort of libraries informing the approach for the second. This initiative is part of a broader effort in North Carolina to expand AI education, complementing other state projects and national efforts to improve AI literacy through public institutions.
