AI is obviously a hot topic in libraries (and everywhere), but one thing I struggled with in my programming was figuring out where to begin with my patrons. It's one thing to know about AI and another to know how to navigate educating people about it, especially when one's own feelings about it can be complex. This is essentially a presentation about a programming series I've planned (and already begun) that includes both general information sessions (Intro to AI), topical sessions (Internet Privacy in the age of AI), and more fun/social sessions (Is it AI Game Show- about identifying AI in different forms). I talk about how I weighed my own feelings about AI with my patron's information needs, how I covered difficult and often political questions, what patrons have been most interested in, etc.
