CULTURE: A TOOL OF PROTECTION OR POTENTIAL

“Compassion to self is care. To others, it is acceptance.
Commitment to self is learning. To others, it is delivering.
Courage to self is personal responsibility. To others, it is integrity.
Curiosity to self is self-awareness. To others, it is humility.
- Care – We attend to our health. We ask for help.
- Acceptance – We do not judge, but encourage. We do not support negative self- BSL narratives. We push to help others past fear and blindness.
- Learning – We relentlessly seek to unleash our productive potential. We look for ponies.
- Delivering – We sync expectations and exceed them. We stretch ourselves for the benefit of others.
- Personal Responsibility – We always, without exception, publicly own our feelings and outcomes. We never blame others.
- Integrity – We speak clearly and directly. If we believe it can help us or others, we share openly.
- Self-Awareness – We ceaselessly explore what we are like. We accept what we find. We constantly seek to be a better version of ourselves. We constantly experiment into our Big 4.
- Humility – We sync to understand before we are understood. We state ignorance without shame. We ask what we are missing. We strive to be without pretense or arrogance.”

Implications of AI Policies for Libraries
The IFLA Journal has just published an article on AI policies across the globe: Implications and recommendations for libraries that analyzes how libraries might be affected by the artificial intelligence policies of the USA, UK, European Union, Canada, and China.
Abstract
This article examines the proposed artificial intelligence policies of the USA, UK, European Union, Canada, and China, and their implications for libraries. As artificial intelligence revolutionizes library operations, it presents complex challenges, such as ethical dilemmas, data privacy concerns, and equitable access issues. The article highlights key themes in these policies, including ethics, transparency, the balance between innovation and regulation, and data privacy. It also identifies areas for improvement, such as the need for specific guidelines on mitigating biases in artificial intelligence systems and navigating data privacy issues. The article further provides practical recommendations for libraries to engage with these policies and develop best practices for artificial intelligence use. The study underscores the need for libraries to not only adapt to these policies but also actively engage with them, contributing to the development of more comprehensive and effective artificial intelligence governance.
