Abstract

In a world increasingly powered by machine learning, library and education environments alike share an emerging interest in artificial intelligence. With an eye toward cultivating AI literacy and leveraging the twenty-first-century boom of digital assistant technology, a number of related library and educational applications have emerged. Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 56, no. 4), “Virtual Voice Assistants,” explores digital assistant applications spanning all phases of education, from early learning through higher education institutions and beyond, into the realm of lifelong learning.
