Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a force that is continuing to evolve and may soon become a tool that revolutionizes health care information-seeking. Healthcare consumers are already equipped with online tools to help inform their healthcare decisions and supply them with additional information when preparing for doctor appointments, but is it safe for librarians and information professionals to recommend to their patrons? This column encourages library patrons to explore various AI tools to build experience, develop technological competencies, and complement their existing knowledge.
