Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The application of artificial intelligence technology in libraries is not only the product of the development of applied information technologies, but also the requirement of intelligentization, diversification and specialization of the library service. However, library technology and library service are not naturally fused. Filling the gap between them should be taken in account from the humanistic perspective. [Method/process] In this paper, we clarify the theoretical logic in the application of artificial intelligence technology in libraries, understand practical difficulties and forecast the development path on the basis of literature review. [Result/conclusion] The innovation of artificial intelligence technology and its supportive technology is a basic prerequisite for the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of library. Final realization of high-quality enhancement of the library service through conceptual and systematic innovation based on technological innovation is the essential condition and ultimate goal of the application of artificial intelligence technology in the area of library, while the application of AI still encounters interruption, ethical dilemma and the risk of data disclosure now. Lastly, three suggestions of cultural mission and moral embedment, technological iteration and intelligent extension, and systematic optimization and human-machine coexistence are put forward according to the actual situation.
