Abstract:
Generative Artificial intelligence is a new technological development rapidly affecting the world. It is a
technology developed to perform various tasks by exposing search terms to lots of data. However, the
impact of generative AI is not encouraging the development of human knowledge, which is becoming
dangerous to the present generation. Librarians as information custodians are, therefore, concerned
about over-reliance on Artificial Intelligence as it destroys information authenticity, encourages
information theft, disrupts mental health, and hinders socialization. It is, therefore,
important for librarians to alert the world to strike a balance between generative AI, intellectual
capacity building and knowledge development.
Description
The impact of generative AI is not encouraging the
development of human knowledge, which is becoming dangerous to our generation. When the
human intellect is completely removed from knowledge generation, the world becomes
superficial, destroying the use of the human brain and originality. Hence, advancing knowledge
will become very difficult while promoting a generation of dullards.
Keywords
