In honor of the Leatherby Libraries’ 20th Anniversary, we are excited to present AI: The Next Chapter, a year-long
display that dives into the transformative impact of AI across various fields. As AI continues to evolve, this display highlights its profound influence on our everyday experiences and offers resources to help the Chapman community stay ahead in this rapidly changing landscape.

The display highlights a wide range of AI topics, from artificial emotional intelligence and its impact on education to its role in power dynamics and practical applications in daily life.

Featuring a curated selection of physical books, e-books, and online articles, this display invites viewers to explore the AI resources available through the Leatherby Libraries. The selected books and resources emphasize the importance of mastering AI while being mindful of ethical considerations.

This display also supports the Chapman University AI Hub’s goal to ensure the university community is well-informed about AI standards and best practices. As AI advances, understanding the guidelines to utilize the new resource responsibly will empower Chapman students, faculty, staff, and researchers to maximize AI’s potential while navigating ethical challenges.

In addition to the physical resources, viewers can access additional AI resources, including:
