Besides the ethical concerns around AI, there's another reason why the CPL should not be implementing an AI Artist-in-Residence program.
AI processing uses water.
We need to conserve water in Calgary.
AI is irresponsible in a year when every drop counts.

Alt text: Picture of a library in the background in brown colours with a black text box made to look like paintbrush marks with text: We shared our full statement to the Calgary Public Library about a Colonial Propaganda book in their catalogue on residential school denialism. We are sharing portions of the letter to break down how settler organizations legitimize hate and dehumanization of Indigenous Peoples under the pretence of equal perspectives. Today on Human Rights Day, we share portions on how Intellectual Freedom is weaponized against targeted groups stripping them of human rights to safety.
Today is Humans Rights Day where in Canada only some people enjoy those rights.
Residential school denialism targets the rights and safety of survivors of residential schools.

A bit of geeking out at the #calgarypubliclibrary and downtown. Cool to learn about another Canadian city.
The #CalgaryPublicLibrary has this simplified poster that helps define the division of responsibility by level of govt
It’s one of the best Canadian civics lessons I’ve seen in public in a while
It should be widely distributed and line the walls of polling stations as people queue up to vote
This is just a reminder that y.com is free with a #library card if your library is connected like the #CalgaryPublicLibrary. They have some great #documentaries on the #WarInUkraine 🌻 & #Gaza as well.
Due to funding cuts, libraries everywhere are making do with less and less every year. Libraries provide such vital services to our communities and we need to ensure they survive and thrive.

It looks like we're going to finally be able to return our library books soon! Although, I tried logging into my account today and it still shows as unavailable.
Anyone else have any luck?
