How are Indian libraries using artificial intelligence? What are the challenges associated with using AI? While AI is still in the early phase of research, it has already begun to emerge as a powerful force that will fundamentally alter many aspects of human life. India occupies the first place in the world in terms of population and it also occupies the first place in terms of youth population. The total population of India is 65 percent young people under 35 years old. To quench the thirst of the population, libraries will have to be converted into learning hubs and information centers, in which AI can play a tremendous role. This paper presented qualitative research after an extensive literature review and exploration of the internet. The library utilizes different AI components, such as machine learning, natural processing, deep learning, and expert systems. In different sections of the library, such as cataloging, classification, collection development, indexing and abstracting, DDS, and acquisition. Finally, some challenges have been described due to which Indian libraries are unable to use artificial intelligence.
• To understand the concept of AI in libraries
• To understand the application of AI in different sections of libraries.
• To analyze Indian libraries’ present situation.
• To analyze the challenges of Indian libraries related to AI.
• To evaluate how the most populated national libraries should be and what they are.
Theinformation in this paperhelps understand how librariesutilizeAIgloballyand how various components of AI can be applied in various sections of libraries, and that article is also an analysis of Indian libraries. The article evaluates how Indian libraries are using AI and new technology to enhance their service, what difficulties they are encountering, and what still must be improved to serve the demands of AI-friendly users in the most populous country.
Libraries play a crucial role in the education system, which is essential for the development of society. Nations are built on the foundation of society, and society, in turn, is composed of individuals. Only well-educated individuals can contribute to the creation of a civilized society.
