Editor's Note

After just recently returning from the ARLIS UK & Ireland's 2024 annual conference, "Artificial visions: Navigating the intersection of AI and art libraries," my head has been swimming with all sorts of considerations as we move into this new world of artificial intelligence.The potential, the risks, the ethical concerns, the environmental impact, how it changes the idea of authorship, how it may change the library labor market are all things we're going to have to start addressing as a profession.I don't think I've been to a conference that has sent me home with so much to contemplate.It was a terrific, informative, and a tiny bit terrifying three days at UAL Central St. Martins.Despite my, hopefully unfounded, fears that we are now all standing at the edge of an epistemological abyss, all presenters and organizers should be very proud of the outcome.Although I'm sure Alj will be publishing articles derived from the 2024 conference presentations soon, in this issue we have three articles derived from presentations at last year's conference in Norwich.
