Subject: ARL/CNI Appoint Joint Task Force on Scenario Planning for AI/ML Futures
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 17:30:30 -0500
To: <CNI-ANNOUNCE>

A joint task force, representing the membership of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), has begun working on a six-month initiative to develop a set of possible future scenarios examining how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) might transform the research enterprise. We hope that these scenarios will be helpful to our member institutions and the broader community in understanding, planning for, and exploring the implications of these technologies. 


Opportunities to contribute to the development of these scenarios will take place through meetings that coincide with ARL and CNI meetings, and through virtual focus groups open to the wider community. ARL and CNI have retained Stratus, Inc. to facilitate the scenario set development. Susan Stickley, CEO of Stratus, worked with ARL previously on the 2030 Scenarios, published in 2010.


Members of the ARL/CNI Joint Task Force on Scenario Planning for AI and ML Futures include:


  • Dianne Babski (US National Library of Medicine)
  • Karen Estlund (Colorado State University)
  • Salwa Ismail (University of California, Berkeley)
  • Boyhun Kim (University of Michigan)
  • James Lee (Northwestern University)
  • Leo Lo (University of New Mexico)
  • Christy Long (University of Oregon)
  • Elisabeth Long (Johns Hopkins University)
  • Rosalyn Metz (Emory University)
  • Devin Savage (Illinois Institute of Technology)
  • Catherine Steeves (Western University)
  • Keith Webster (Carnegie Mellon)
  • Kate Zwaard (Library of Congress)
