A Broader Perspective on AI
The Midden-Brabant Library in ‘s-Hertogenbosch is offering a range of activities on artificial intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT in 2025. These workshops and lectures are aimed at a broad audience, ranging from students to adults, and help participants understand the impact of AI in daily life and the workplace. Attendees will learn how to use AI effectively and responsibly, including practical exercises and discussions on ethical aspects [1].
What Can You Expect?
Participants can expect a clear introduction to generative AI: what it is, how it works, and what you can do with it. Practical exercises with tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity are also part of the workshops. You will learn smart techniques for creating better prompts and improving AI results. But there will also be insights into the reliability and ethics of AI: how do you evaluate the outcomes and what should you watch out for? [1]
Who Is This Workshop For?
These workshops are suitable for anyone curious about AI – from beginners to those with more experience. No technical background is required, just an open mind and a willingness to learn. Whether you are just starting out or already have some experience, you will learn how to use AI effectively, creatively, and responsibly [1].

AI in the Library
The Midden-Brabant Library is not only active in organising workshops and lectures but is also integrating AI into its daily services. AI-driven search systems, personalised recommendations, automatic cataloguing, and digital assistants are some of the applications the library is implementing to improve service delivery. These technologies make it easier for users to find relevant information and enhance the visitor experience [3].
Challenges and Benefits
While AI offers many benefits, it also presents challenges. Privacy, accessibility, and the changing role of library staff are important aspects that require attention. It is crucial that library staff have the necessary skills and knowledge to handle these technologies responsibly and guide users. Moreover, AI plays a significant role in democratising knowledge and enhancing information literacy [3].
Practical Examples and Expert Views
Various libraries worldwide have successfully integrated AI into their services. For example, the New York Public Library uses AI for automatic cataloguing and personalised recommendations, while the British Library employs AI for digitising and archiving historical documents. Expert views indicate that the future of AI in library services is promising, but there must also be attention to ethical and practical aspects [GPT].
AI Expo at the Discovery Museum
A highlight of the AI activities is the AI expo opening at the Discovery Museum in ‘s-Hertogenbosch from 12 December 2024. The expo offers visitors a glimpse into the future of AI and robotics. The main attraction is the introduction of Ami, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. The expo focuses on the applications and impact of AI in daily life and offers interactive demonstrations and workshops [4].
