Reema Saleh writes: “One of librarian Sondra Eklund’s patrons recently asked the library to acquire a children’s book about pets other than cats or dogs, so she went looking. When she came across a book titled Rabbits: Children’s Animal Fact Book from the publisher Bold Kids, it seemed promising. But when the book arrived, Eklund learned how bad it could be: ‘Unbelievably bad.’ Eklund now suspects the title and others from Bold Kids were created by artificial intelligence (AI). She is far from the only librarian grappling with AI issues.”
