Bots Hit the Books
Library Journal has a very insightful article discussing agents in libraries -- In Search of Blessed Bots. At first, the article describes the need for agents in such a place; the staff is often overrun, and a lot of repetitive tasks arise. This is naturally ideally suited to computer controlled bots, who can be pre-programmed to do that. Though the creators point out the major requirement was to make the bot seem more human by not simply regurgitating rules. The most interesting part of the feature describes the collaboration between the AI expert and the librarian, combining to get the perfect solution. This is, in my mind, the best way to go about the problem. |
